‘He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;’ Daniel 2: 21

Our Intent:

At St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School our vision is to give children a Science curriculum which enables them to acknowledge the relevance of the subject in the world and to make links to their everyday experiences within their locality. To achieve this, opportunities are given to create open-ended questions, investigate using a range of scientific skills and explore the possibilities, incorporate strong mathematical and literacy-based skills, as well as to learn about famous scientists and how their investigatory minds have shaped the world today and will continue to do so. We strive to celebrate the children’s achievements when they use and apply their scientific knowledge and skills to answer a question or solve a problem, by choosing a Scientist of the week. Our intent is to create engaging and interesting lessons for all, which are cross-curricular and build upon prior knowledge so that scientific language can be used confidently and in the correct context.
