Our Science curriculum is designed to inspire pupils to explore, appreciate, and be fascinated by the universe around them. We foster a positive and hands-on approach to science. Our focus is on developing essential scientific skills, integrating knowledge with practical application, and creating meaningful cross-curricular connections where appropriate. We also aim to deepen understanding of the 'Big Ideas' in Science that have relevance both in students' current lives and in their futures beyond the Academy.
