Aligned with our school vision, our science curriculum is rooted in a desire to see all learners develop a curiosity about the world around them, support the development of strong scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding, equip them with the skills required to engage with scientific questions and provide opportunities for children to test their scientific skills first-hand.

We are keen to see all children become enthusiastic about science and adapt our teaching and classroom environments to suit the needs of all pupils.

Throughout our science curriculum, children build on their previous learning to accumulate knowledge about different areas of science and develop skills of working scientifically. Children are given opportunities to make predictions, ask questions, use equipment, set up tests, observe and measure, record relevant data, interpret results and evaluate the process.

Based on the National Curriculum guidance, children will learn about a diverse range of science topics throughout their time at Corpusty including electricity, plants, light and evolution, for example. All of our science topics are organised into one of four big ideas: change, function, diversity and connection. The big ideas establish links between units of science that, otherwise, appear explicit. They also create links between other curriculum areas.

Our learning goals outline that we are keen to see our learners become ‘curious, inquisitive and have the confidence to explore’. Our science curriculum provides an excellent opportunity for children to achieve this goal by developing their confidence, independence and critical thinking.
