Science

Our amazing and ambitious science curriculum is designed with the intent that each child at Manor Primary School, from EYFS to Year 6, will become competent scientific thinkers and investigators who will encounter awe and wonder through exciting, memorable and first-hand scientific investigative experience.

‘We should not teach children the sciences; but give them a taste for them’. Jean-Jacques Rousseau

With great emphasis on offering our children with an exceptional science education that underpins National Curriculum content and offers the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics, our curriculum design for Science promotes specific competences including knowledge, enquiry and the working scientifically based skills.

Creative pathways to learning are planned for so that children can make links to prior knowledge enabling children to build their scientific schema through key experiences and deliberate practice. With these, we champion our children to develop depth in knowledge, vocabulary and skills within Science that are rich, stimulating, challenging and real life with the aim of enabling children to master learning with knowledge and experiences that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.

Our Science curriculum is designed to allow each pupil to ….

• Achieve the best possible standards and achievements, whatever their starting point.
• Has high levels of engagement, enjoyment and personal development in Science.
• Connects and builds on prior knowledge leading to progression and depth through first hand, practical and memorable learning experiences.
• Access a rich, broad and wondrous science curriculum that allows high levels of personalisation that plays to their strengths and develops specialisms.
• Ignites a spark for future aspirations and careers (engineering, medicine) within the world of Science.

At Manor Primary School, we all champion primary science and our intent is to make sure that every childfrom EYFS to Year 6 has a positive experience of science throughout their primary school education. In Science, we chant…

Be you, someone that: thinks, wonders, ask questions, observes, explores, experiments, measures, predicts, draws, events, a scientist in the making!

At Manor Primary School, there is a Buzz about Science!
