Science
As Science Lead at Burnham-on-Crouch Primary School, I am passionate about science and believe it plays a vital role in helping children to understand and connect with the world around them. I champion a curriculum that builds curiosity, critical thinking and strong subject knowledge, ensuring all pupils are equipped with the vocabulary, skills and confidence to become inquisitive learners and informed citizens of the future.
Our Science Curriculum Vision:
At Burnham on Crouch Primary School, our vision is to give children a Science curriculum which enables them to explore and discover the world around them to create a deeper understanding of the world that we live in. To achieve this we ensure that science in our school includes practical experiments which create a sense of wonder.
Our aim is to create future thinkers that are ambitious and want to extend their scientific knowledge and vocabulary. Our curriculum aims to broaden the children’s scientific view of the world around them, whilst promoting a love for enquiry and wanting to explore new things. It gives them the chance to learn a range of skills which they can use throughout their life. We will harness and challenge their scientific skills to equip them to become young, confident scientists of the 21st Century. As a school we are delighted to have achieved the Primary Science Quality Mark, a nationally recognised award which celebrates a commitment to excellence in Science teaching and learning.
We believe that everyone is a scientist!.
