Science is taught as a discrete subject, with links made across the curriculum. Our teaching follows the National Curriculum and the Somerset Agreed Syllabus: Awareness, Mystery & Value. We aim to:

• Promote inquisitive thinking through biology, chemistry, and physics

• Encourage rational explanation and curiosity about natural phenomena

• Help children understand how science is used to predict, explain and analyse

By the end of Key Stage 1, children will be able to:

• Ask questions and carry out simple investigations

• Observe and use basic equipment

• Record and discuss findings

By the end of Key Stage 2, children will:

• Plan and carry out fair tests

• Record and analyse data using graphs and scientific diagrams

• Use findings to make predictions and draw conclusions

• Understand how evidence supports or refutes ideas
