Science Intent at Kneesall C of E Primary School:

At Kneesall C of E Primary School, our intent is to give every child a broad and balanced Science curriculum which enables them to confidently explore and discover the world around them, so that they have a deeper understanding of the world we live in. We want our children to be curious and to ask questions. We want them to have the skills to seek answers to these questions. We want our children to be ambitious and to see themselves as future scientists in careers such as, pharmacists, biologists, physicists etc.

To achieve this, our science will involve exciting, practical hands on experiences that encourage curiosity and questioning whilst developing knowledge, skills and a science rich vocabulary. As well as a coherently planned and sequenced curriculum, we will offer enrichment through visits, visitors and other learning experiences. Links to other areas of the curriculum will be made, strengthening the children’s’ understanding of how all learning links together. Our curriculum will meet the needs of all of our children equipping them with, not only the minimum statutory requirements of the science National Curriculum, but to prepare them for life and future learning.

We use the Twinkl PlanIt Science Units of Learning to teach our Science curriculum.
