Science

Newlands’ vision is to distil a lifelong love of science within our pupils, we want them to be inquisitive, explore and question the world around them.

Science has changed our lives and is vital to the world’s future prosperity therefore, we are developing our curriculum so that there are strong links between Science, Technology, Engineering and the Maths curriculum. We believe that Science has a large part to play in our curriculum and the children’s understanding of the world around them.

Students will have a clear understanding of what is meant by Biology, Chemistry and Physics and how they fit with our everyday understanding of the world. We work hard to provide a rich and varied curriculum to challenge and meet the needs of our children.

We believe all pupils should be taught the skills of working scientifically and the essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science. Our pupils will build up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts, they are encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena.

Students are challenged on a weekly basis to develop the progressive working scientific skills to explore and embed the knowledge that is unique to our school and our needs. We monitor our schools progress in science regularly in line with our science policy.
