At Wessex Primary School, we aim to develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena and an understanding of the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics.

By adopting a range of skills in working scientifically, we encourage critical thinking and empower pupils to ask perceptive questions about the world around them.  Studying science allows pupils to appreciate how new knowledge and skills can be fundamental to solving arising global challenges.

Knowledge and skills developed:

• Scientific knowledge and understanding:  observing, studying and explaining the physical world.
• Working scientifically: using different methods of scientific enquiry to understand the world around us.
• Science in action: how science can be used and its impact on our day-to-day lives.
