Science Policy (2025)
At Orchard Primary School, science is both a body of knowledge and a methodology for understanding the world. Through experimental testing and explicit teaching of disciplinary knowledge, we aim to foster curiosity and critical thinking. Science equips children with the tools to ask meaningful questions and seek reliable answers, enabling them to:
- Think critically and communicate their understanding;
- Have opportunities to apply their scientific skills in different contexts across the curriculum;
- Develop enquiry skills useful for science and across the curriculum.
