We harness children’s natural curiosity about the world around them by encouraging them to be inquisitive and excited for future possibilities in science. We aim to equip children with the scientific knowledge and practical skills in science to enable them to adapt and flourish in an increasingly scientific world both today and in the future.
Our Kingsfield Scientists are inspired to learn about the impact Science can have on the world we live in and our understanding of it. Our Scientists are excited to explore and test new concepts and to answer their own questions and further explore the theories of others. Our Science curriculum aims to develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of the processes and methods of Science to ignite their curiosity about the wider world.
The document below shows a planned teaching sequence that a unit of Science lessons may follow in order to promote the sequential and progressive development of knowledge which can be securely demonstrated by our pupils.
The document below identifies the key elements which we believe are important to incorporate into our Science lessons in order for them to build on previously taught knowledge and also to deepen and secure key concepts. The key elements which we believe are important to incorporate into our science lessons are highlighted in this pathway in order to: recall, deepen and build on previous learning to secure key concepts.
To ensure children are taught and remember the appropriate knowledge and skills relating to Science we have created a whole school progressive breakdown of the national curriculum expectations, this draws on the skills and knowledge being taught across all subject areas and hopes to contribute to the development of key concepts and themes in a deep and connected way.
Our Science curriculum will ensure all children are not only taught subject specific vocabulary but also provide opportunities for them to use such language within the correct context with confidence and fluency.
