Science at Spurcroft
Our intent for Science
At Spurcroft Primary School, our intention is to provide all children with a knowledge- and vocabulary-rich science curriculum that excites, promotes and sustains children’s interest in the world around them. We aim to nurture and foster their natural curiosity, offering memorable experiences and creating a strong foundation for lifelong scientific thinking.
We are committed to developing both substantive knowledge (the concepts and theories within science) and disciplinary knowledge (how scientists collect, analyse and evaluate evidence). Pupils have frequent opportunities to learn through their own investigations, promoting problem-solving, creativity and communication.
We recognise that children need regular opportunities to recall learning and make meaningful links between new and prior knowledge. Through reflection and evaluation of their learning, pupils deepen their understanding and build their confidence as scientists.
We believe science opens doors to a wide range of diverse and valuable careers, and our curriculum aims to prepare pupils to thrive in an ever-changing 21st-Century world.
