Science Overview

At St Botolph's C of E Primary School, our science curriculum is carefully sequenced, ambitious and exceeds the requirements of the National Curriculum. The children have multiple opportunities to secure and build on their knowledge, and understanding of the content is revisited at different points throughout the curriculum over time. This helps children to master the knowledge and concepts whilst building up an extended vocabulary. This incremental approach helps teachers to identify gaps in knowledge so that they can look back at previous content and use this to close them. 

Our curriculum enables children to understand the important role that science plays in the sustainability of life on earth. We want our children to be equipped to go forth into their secondary education with curiosity, passion and a desire for science.
