SCIENCE

Science is a fascinating subject that enables students to develop their understanding of their bodies and the importance of keeping fit and healthy to how the wider world around them works. Studying Biology, Physics and Chemistry can lead to a multitude of careers including psychology, medicine, sport and exercise and pharmacology.

The intent of the science curriculum is to be rich in powerful knowledge, be academically demanding and build cultural capital. Our new Key Stage 3 curriculum has been carefully designed to ensure students learn key scientific knowledge as well as having the opportunity to see how Science is important in the real world. The science curriculum is coherently sequenced by carefully ordering topics that reflects the Hierarchal structure of the scientific disciplines. For example, we begin by teaching few of the most fundamentals topics of science such as matter and cells. As the students move through the science curriculum these concepts are regularly visited and built on to develop broader and more complex schemas.
