STEM
Intent:
At Burnham-on-Crouch Primary, we believe that STEM opens the door to a future for our pupils that has not yet been created. Combining Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths creates something that is greater than the sum of its individual parts. This combined approach builds cross-curricular mastery and a deeper understanding of the knowledge and complex, but learnable processes that build our world. Our STEM enrichment programme goes beyond the curriculum and develops adventurers, philosophers, scientists, engineers and dreamers and is central to our goals for all of our community.
