We provide a rich and varied science learning experience that allows children to develop their knowledge, skills and abilities to their full potential. Our science curriculum is ambitious and designed to meet the diverse needs of the children who attend The Federation of Middleham (VA) & Spennithorne (VC) CE Primary Schools. It aims to provide all pupils with the knowledge, skills and cultural capital they need to succeed in their lives.
The Federation of Middleham (VA) & Spennithorne (VC) CE Primary Schools follows the national curriculum and Early Years Framework to ensure knowledge; skills and understanding are taught throughout all key stages. The school has created its own long and medium term planning which details the topics, objectives, knowledge, skills and vocabulary which should be covered. Through this planning, the national curriculum breath of study for science is fully covered.
Our core aims are to provide teaching and learning opportunities through the science curriculum that empowers the children to be:
ASPIRATIONAL
RESPECTFUL
RESILIENT
We believe that by having these three aims at the root, will equip our pupils to LIVE FRUITFUL LIVES and to LEARN, LOVE and GROW.
