At Kirkdale St Lawrence, our vision is to provide children with a science curriculum that is accessible to all children, enabling them to explore and discover the world around them. To accomplish this, we aim to provide lessons rooted in scientific enquiry with memorable practical experiences that are relatable to encourage a deeper understanding and curiosity with questioning. We believe it is vital to promote and develop transferable skills such as observation, communication and collaborative work to evolve the whole child as a lifelong learner. We will provide opportunities to consolidate prior knowledge and encourage deeper understanding with lessons that are rooted in scientific vocabulary.
