Statement of Intent
'The human mind is not capable of grasping the universe.'
Albert Einstein
Our science curriculum is designed to ignite curiosity and foster a lifelong wonder about the universe, rooted in our identity as a welcoming community of faith where we learn and flourish together. Above all, we believe that exploring the world God created should be a joyful adventure, full of excitement, discovery, and fun. Because we believe that every single child is loved by God and one another, we view every child as a scientist; our curriculum is fully inclusive, adaptive, and accessible to all children, ensuring that each day opens up horizons of hope, aspiration, and joy regardless of their starting points or additional needs.
We deliver a highly practical, hands-on enquiry curriculum where children don't just learn science, they do science. By exploring the world through active investigation, children develop the critical thinking skills needed to question, experiment, and analyse. To ensure deep, long-term retention, our curriculum is built on a spiral model. Prior learning is constantly revisited and woven into new contexts, allowing children to securely embed key concepts into their long-term memory.
We look to the future by explicitly linking classroom learning to real-world STEM careers and aspirations. By introducing diverse role models and global scientific innovations, we empower our children to see themselves as the innovators, engineers, and researchers of tomorrow, fully equipped to use their talents to serve and flourish in the wider world.
