Intent - What do we want to achieve?
During their time at Lanner School, pupils will explore and learn about the world around them, progressively building up a body of key scientific knowledge and concepts, which align with the National Curriculum (2014). The science curriculum is also linked to our book based curriculum through carefully selected fiction and non-fiction texts, reflecting a thematic and balanced programme of study.
Through their study of science, children at Lanner School will learn to think creatively, form questions and express their ideas and knowledge through the use of ambitious language and vocabulary. These skills will ensure that they are able to access the KS1 &KS2 curriculum and will be equipped for transition to KS3.
Implementation - What does science look like in the classroom?
Science at Lanner is taught weekly and throughout the year, in order that children can access regular teaching and build progressively on the knowledge and skills they have learnt. In Early Years, science is taught through the children learning about the world around them in their learning through play.
Teachers create a positive attitude to science learning within their classrooms and reinforce the expectation that all children are capable of achieving high standards in science. Our whole school approach to the teaching and learning of science involves the following;
Impact - What is the desired outcome of the teaching of science?
The teaching of science at Lanner School results in a fun, engaging, high-quality science education, that provides children with the building blocks for understanding the world, and forms the foundations for a successful transition to the Key Stage 3 science curriculum.
Ultimately, by the end of their journey at Lanner School we want our pupils to see science as fun and accessible: as well as thought provoking and challenging. We want them to be fascinated by the scientific world around them and be hungry to continue their learning in their secondary education, future lives and careers.
