Science

At Bollin, we provide a high-quality science education that is exciting, engaging and inspires curiosity about natural phenomena in the world around us. Science has changed our lives and is vital to the world’s future prosperity, and all pupils should be taught essential knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science within the foundations of biology, chemistry and physics.

Using this foundation of knowledge, our children are promoted to ask questions and discover answers using progressive working scientifically skills. Children immerse themselves in rich scientific vocabulary and broad concepts, promoting deeper conceptual understanding. It is our hope that we inspire children to love science and carry this with them into further education and future career aspirations.

We aim for our children to develop:

• scientific knowledge through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics.
• conceptual understanding within science and apply some concepts to wider learning.
• understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries.
• the ability to answer scientific questions about the world around them.
• a curiosity about natural phenomena to inspire the need to ask scientific questions.
• the understanding and use of scientific vocabulary.
• the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future
