Science

Science vision statement:

 “At Fiddlers Lane Community Primary School, all of our children have a passion for science, a love for exploration and a thirst for knowledge that they carry with them out into the wider world.”

Intent

Because of our rapidly evolving world, at Fiddlers Lane Community Primary School, science is a vital part of our curriculum intention. We aim to provide a high quality science education, which provides the foundations for understanding of the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Science is concerned with increasing pupils’ knowledge of our world, and with developing skills associated with science as a process of enquiry.

Through teaching, we build up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts. Our pupils are encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. They are encouraged to understand how science can develop an enquiring mind and analytical thinking skills through an enquiry based science curriculum. We recognise how science affects our lives, and is vital to the world’s future prosperity.

 As one of the core subjects taught at primary level, we give the teaching and learning of science the prominence it deserves and our Our ambition is to ensure high achievement for all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND.
