Science

At Church of the Ascension Primary School, we recognise the importance of Science in every aspect of daily life. As one of the core subjects, we aim to give the teaching and learning of Science the prominence it requires.

We aim to offer a Science curriculum that increases pupils’ knowledge and understanding of our world and develops skills associated with Science as a process of enquiry. We aim to develop the natural curiosity of the child, encourage respect for living organisms and the physical environment and provide opportunities for critical evaluation of evidence.

We aim for all our children to develop skills that enable them to view themselves as scientists. Throughout their time with us, we aim for children to develop and maintain a curiosity of the world around them and be equipped with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of Science, today and for the future.
