Science
At Annesley we have a clear vision for science. Our vision is to make all of our pupils into little scientists combined with ‘Achieving Together’. We aim to ensure a balanced mix of approaches to so that all of our pupils can achieve the skills required, a positive attitude, confidence as well as interest and a lifelong curiosity for the world around them.
We aim to provide a high quality science education that provides children with the foundations they need to recognise its importance in every aspect of daily life. We give the teaching and learning of the subject high prominence with regular weekly learning.Teachers will ensure that all children are exposed to high quality teaching and learning experiences delivered through questions to inculcate a love of learning. These will hook the children’s interest, enabling them to develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. They will be encouraged to ask questions about the world around them and work scientifically to further their conceptual understanding and scientific knowledge. Children will be encouraged to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes. It will provide opportunities for the critical evaluation of evidence and rational explanation of scientific phenomena as well as opportunity to apply their mathematical knowledge to their understanding of science, including collecting, presenting and analysing data. Children will be immersed in key scientific vocabulary, which supports in the acquisition of scientific knowledge and understanding. All children will be provided with a broad and balanced science curriculum which reflects the equality and diversity policies and practice in school.
