Isaac Newton said “ No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.” Our children excel at asking questions, wondering why and persevering to find answers- they are already great scientists!

Curriculum Intent: 

At Langley Fitzurse, we intend our children to consider themselves as scientists. We encourage them to have an enquiring mind; asking questions and developing their thinking skills through an interesting, enquiry-based Science curriculum.  It is our intention to recognise the importance of Science in every aspect of daily life. We give the teaching and learning of Science the prominence it requires, whilst using our school vision to ensure we produce resilient scientists who want to amaze, excite and inspire. Science continues to change our lives and we aim to provide children with the knowledge and skills to impact positively on the world we live in and its future. 

We aim to: 

• Increase pupils’ knowledge and understanding of our world. 
• Develop skills associated with Science as a process of enquiry.  
• Develop and foster a natural scientific curiosity. 
• Encourage respect for living organisms and the physical environment.  
• Provide opportunities for evaluation of evidence.  
• Enable children to become enquiry-based learners. 
• Develop a passion for Science and its place within past, present and future technologies.
