INTENT STATEMENT

The Green Way Academy is proud to serve the community of North Hull and give our pupils the very best learning opportunities and experiences regardless of their circumstances. We are committed to delivering an exciting, inspirational, and motivating curriculum which enables pupils to become independent learners preparing them for their next steps in life. Our mission is pure and simple: we want all of our pupils to experience success and have high aspirations so that they can go on to lead a remarkable life. This is the golden thread that binds us all together – the reason that despite our very different paths to The Green Way Academy, we are all part of one family. 

Our 3 Key Curriculum Drivers:

1. Remarkable Aspirations – we aim to provide exceptional experiences which show our pupils the wide range of possibilities available for their future.

It is our aim in Science to give the children the skills and knowledge to succeed in the next steps of their learning and discoveries in Science. We aim to create  the scientists of the future!

2. Remarkable Environment – we aim to provide a safe haven for all our pupils to flourish and lead a remarkable life. 

The Science environment is essential to provide the children with the best opportunities to succeed. Each classroom has a science display which provides key vocabulary and information for learning. We aim to provide the best quality resources and questioning to support the children’s learning. We have also invested in Science lab coats and googles so that the children can have the experience of dressing as ’Scientists’.  

3. Remarkable Learners - we offer a wide range of experiences to allow our pupils to become independent and resourceful learners and reach their full potential.

Our approach allows children to develop concepts in a way which is designed to ensure that all children have the chance to thrive. We wants our learners to be independent Scientists who have fluency of the unfamiliar. Our learners develop scientifically in the following ways:

Year 1/2: As a scientist we will explore, observe and investigate the world around us.

Year 3/4: As a scientist we will learn about the natural world through observation and experimentation.

Year 5/6: As a scientist we create hypotheses and use fair tests to observe, measure and compare the world around us.

Science Capital -An Important Feature of our Science Curriculum

“It's important because we need more young people to engage in science in a wider context than just passing exams at the end of school. We need them to be passionate about science and inspired to keep studying beyond school and then make a difference to the world.  …also to be able to relate what they are learning to their lives!”
