Intent
Our science curriculum at Pinfold Street is designed to spark pupils’ excitement and curiosity about the world around them and to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to be prepared for life. Through enquiry-led, practical learning, pupils are encouraged to observe carefully, ask questions and use scientific ideas to explain what is happening, make sensible predictions and test them. They learn to collect and analyse evidence, draw conclusions and communicate their findings clearly, building both subject knowledge and the confidence to think and reason like scientists.
Implementation
The curriculum is planned in well-sequenced, progressive lessons. The children are taught in blocks to immerse them in their learning to enable them to know more and remember more. We use Grammarsaurus units of work to support our science curriculum.

Impact
At the end of their science learning journey pupils will be able to use a range of scientific and topic related vocabulary to describe their understanding as well as discuss their findings to a range of investigations. Pupils will have an understanding of the different enquiry types and how these can be used to investigate and test their own scientific questions. Children will develop their skills in analytical thinking and questioning and be able to use these in discussions about their learning. Throughout the science curriculum, pupils will be exposed to a wide range of topics that will provide them with a wide breadth and depth of knowledge to support them in their future learning.
