Science
Science teaches an understanding of natural phenomena through the disciplines of chemistry, physics and biology. It aims to stimulate a child's curiosity in finding out why things happen in the way they do. It teaches methods of enquiry and investigation to stimulate creative thought. Children learn to ask scientific questions and begin to appreciate the way in which science will affect them on a personal, national and global level.
We aim for our pupils to be equipped with the scientific skills and knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science today and in the future.
At Netherseal St. Peter’s Primary School, we believe that every child should learn about science in a way that is engaging, educational and relevant. By the time they leave primary school, children need the right knowledge and investigative skills for their secondary education. It is important that they are able to see the relevance of science in their own lives, and imagine future science related careers based upon it.
