Intent: Our vision in science is to ignite curiosity and encourage creative thinking while providing safe opportunities for risk taking in a supportive environment.

We aim to:

Promote the development of scientific knowledge (disciplinary) and conceptual understanding (substantive) through the disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics.
Develop working scientifically skills through different types of scientific enquiry and relate those processes and methods to the wider world.
Delivering the curriculum in a way that makes learning applicable to the real world, encouraging aspirations in STEM careers and providing Culture Capital.
Bring personal knowledge and experience into the learning (Science Capital) and unite the school and the community through local connection and context.
