Camm’s CE Primary School Statement: Science
At Camm’s, we recognise the importance of Science in helping children make sense of the world. Our curriculum is designed to nurture curiosity, deepen understanding and build essential scientific skills. Through enquiry-led learning, children ask questions, explore ideas and draw conclusions using evidence. We aim to inspire pupils to think scientifically, work practically and develop confident explanations for the phenomena they observe.
Science is taught through a clear progression of knowledge and skills from EYFS to Year 6, following the National Curriculum. Learning is organised through the disciplines of Biology, Chemistry and Physics, with scientific enquiry skills woven throughout. Children learn to observe, question, investigate, measure, record and evaluate in a range of practical contexts.
In EYFS, early scientific thinking is developed through exploration, problem-solving and hands-on experiences that encourage children to notice patterns, ask questions, and talk about the world around them.
By the end of their time at Camm’s, pupils have a secure foundation of scientific knowledge and the enquiry skills needed for the next stage of their education. They understand how science affects daily life and the wider world, and they leave with the confidence, curiosity and the skills necessary to continue exploring the scientific questions that shape our future.
