Statement of Intent - Science
Science in St Anne’s Catholic Primary School
Science is a significant part of human culture and represents one of the pinnacles of human thinking capacity. It provides a laboratory of common experience for development of language, logic, and problem-solving skills in the classroom. Through exciting and inventive lessons, we teach research skills, practical uses of knowledge and delving deeper into investigative science, all these approaches teach a life long love of learning. This process enables children of all ages and ability to succeed, enjoy and learn through ‘hands on’ experiences. Adaptations are made to Science lessons to ensure that all children are able to access the curriculum and are not disadvantaged by Special Educational Needs or Disability
