What Science looks like at St Laurence
Science at St Laurence provides a wide variety of scientific opportunities that inspire and engage all children to aid them in reaching and further developing their scientific capital.
Our science curriculum inspires curiosity and develops scientific knowledge and skills. Pupils learn through practical, engaging lessons that build understanding, enquiry skills and scientific vocabulary. As a result, they can think scientifically, explain their learning confidently and apply their knowledge independently, preparing them for the next stage of education.
Intent, Implementation and Impact
Our science curriculum is carefully sequenced to ensure that all pupils develop a deep, coherent understanding of key scientific concepts and the skills of working scientifically.
The intent is to inspire curiosity, promote enquiry, and equip pupils with the knowledge and vocabulary to explain phenomena.
Implementation takes place through practical, engaging lessons that develop investigative skills, observation, reasoning, and problem-solving. Learning is regularly revisited and built upon to support long-term retention and progression.
The impact of this approach is evident in pupils’ ability to think scientifically, articulate their understanding confidently, and apply knowledge independently, preparing them effectively for the next stage of education.
