The Science curriculum at Darell Primary School seeks to harness every child’s natural curiosity about the way the world works. To enable the acquisition of a systematic, scientific approach to learning, developing useful knowledge, skills and attitudes about the world in which we live.

Science is taught to the children in a practical, relevant context. Systematic inquiry, analysis of problems, formation of ideas, their testing and modification are encouraged through whole class, group or individual investigations and project work.

Nursery explore different smells

We aim to develop pupils’ enjoyment and interest in science and an appreciation of its contribution to all aspects of everyday life. We wish to build on pupils’ curiosity and sense of awe of the natural world through the use of a planned range of investigations and practical activities.

At the same time, the children will be able to develop their ability to plan fair tests, make predictions, record results using ICT, analyse diagrams, graphs, tables and charts and to make generalisations about their learning.
