Science

Intent

At Coleshill, our intention is to stimulate and excite children’s curiosity, developing a sense of ‘awe and wonder’ about the world around them in line with our Christian Vision ‘Let your Light Shine’. We endeavour to provide all children with a purposeful, progressive, language rich science curriculum which is engaging for all. We aim to create learners who are equipped with the skills and knowledge to help them understand how science can affect our lives today and in the future. We provide an ambitious curriculum with high expectations and endeavour to develop children’s resilience and encourage a ‘have a go’ attitude during their scientific enquiries.  We ensure that skills are built-on and developed throughout the children’s time at our school so that they can use equipment, conduct experiments, build arguments and explain concepts confidently.  

Implementation

In Reception, Science writing is taught within our Early Years Curriculum and at Key Stage 1, both Year 1 and Year 2 study different Science units across the year.  Please read our Science Policy and Progression of Skills for further information:
