At Lordsgate Township CE Primary School, we encourage children to be inquisitive throughout their time at the school and beyond. The Science curriculum fosters a healthy curiosity in children about our universe and promotes respect for the living and non-living. We believe science encompasses the acquisition of knowledge, concepts and positive attitudes towards science. Throughout the programmes of study, the children will acquire and develop the key scientific knowledge that has been identified within each unit and across each year group, as well as the application of knowledge about scientific enquiry. We ensure that the children's knowledge of Working Scientifically  are built-on and developed throughout children’s time at the school so that they can apply their knowledge of science when using equipment, conducting experiments, building arguments and explaining concepts confidently and continue to ask questions and be curious about their surroundings.
