Intent:

At St Mary's we champion STEM subjects by encouraging children to be curious about the world around them.

We will:

• Ensure all children make progress from their starting points
• Teach knowledge in a way that considers each child's individual cognitive load
• Teach skills and knowledge that are progressive
• Ensure all children use science to develop stewardship towards creation
• Broaden children's experiences beyond our locality
• Place a high demand on pupils in terms of knowledge, skills, quality of work and attitudes to learning
• Develop vocabulary, reasoning skills and understanding of the world around them to prepare them to be citzens of the future
• Be certain that all of our children are securely prepared for the next stages in their educational careers
• Prepare children to be ambitious in an ever changing world

Implementation:

Our Kapow Primary Science Cirriculum ensures we are able to fulfil these promises by:

• Ensuring full coverage of the national cirriculum and statutory guidance
• Providing knowledge-rich and engaging lessons
• Offering a spiral cirriculum for skill progression
• Providing practical, real world experiments to fully develop scientific enquiry skills
