Science Policy (2021)

Science is a body of knowledge, procedures and concepts built up through experimental testing of ideas, where disciplinary knowledge is explicitly taught. Science is also a methodology; a practical way of finding reliable answers to questions we may ask about the world around us.

Science at Orchard Primary School is about developing children’s ideas and ways of working that enable 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.
