Intent, Implementation and Impact

Intent

At Stranton Primary School, our aim is to provide the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. We do not simply want children to learn scientific facts – we want them to acquire a deep and long lasting knowledge so that they are able to explain and shape what is happening in the world around them. We want our children to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena as well as understand science is vital for our world’s future prosperity.

Implementation

The National Curriculum Programme of Study for KS1 and KS2 provides a basis for us to deliver a high quality science education within our school. Science is taught weekly as part of our core curriculum. Each key stage has specific units which must be covered throughout the year. Objectives are progressive and sequential; teaching children the scientific knowledge required to live in a rapidly evolving world, whilst developing a strong scientific vocabulary, an enquiring mind and skills to become a scientist.

Impact

Our children will develop the scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding required to succeed in an increasingly scientific and technological world. They will extend their understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different scientific enquiry approaches that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them and will be equipped with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future. Furthermore, we will provide our children with an enjoyable experience of science, so that they will develop a deep and lasting interest and may be motivated to study science further.
