In St. Anne’s our Science curriculum provides a range of different contexts for learning which draw on important aspects of everyday life and work.
Learning in the sciences will enable our pupils to:
• develop curiosity and understanding of the environment and their place in the living, material and physical world;
• demonstrate a secure knowledge and understanding of the big ideas and concepts of the sciences;
• develop skills for learning, life and work;
• develop the skills of scientific inquiry and investigation using practical techniques;
• develop skills in the accurate use of scientific language, formulae and equations;
• apply safety measures and take necessary actions to control risk and hazards;
• recognise the impact the sciences make on everyday life, the environment and on society;
• recognise the role of creativity and inventiveness in the development of the sciences
• develop an understanding of the Earth’s resources and the need for responsible use of them;
• express opinions and make decisions on social, moral, ethical, economic and environmental issues based upon sound understanding;
• develop as a scientifically-literate citizen with a lifelong interest in the sciences and
• establish the foundation for more advanced learning and future careers in the sciences and the technologies.
