Science Curriculum Intent
At St Bernard’s, our Science curriculum sparks curiosity and builds pupils’ knowledge, language and confidence to think and talk like scientists. Recognising that many of our pupils have limited life experiences and vocabulary, we prioritise explicit teaching of scientific language, structured talk and meaningful, hands-on experiences. Our carefully sequenced curriculum enables pupils to develop secure understanding of key scientific concepts and enquiry skills, while connecting learning to the real world through practical investigation and local contexts. By the end of primary school, every child will know key ideas, use scientific vocabulary accurately, and approach the world with curiosity, confidence and a sense of possibility.
Ultimately, our Science curriculum equips children not just with knowledge, but with curiosity, confidence, and a sense of empowerment to explore, question, and contribute to the world around them.
