Science At Lowfield

At Lowfield Primary School our Science curriculum is designed to ensure that

all children are taught age appropriate science subject knowledge as laid out

by the National Curriculum. It is our intent to encourage children to be inquisitive

about the world, nurturing their innate curiosity and enabling them to develop

a range of scientific skills that are useful across the whole curriculum.

​

The curriculum is ambitious, coherently planned and sequenced to ensure gaps

in subject knowledge can be address, and that new knowledge and skills build

upon those previously taught, in order to achieve clearly defined end points.

​

Scientific enquiry skills are embedded in each topic the children study and these topics are revisited and developed throughout their time at school. Topics, such as Plants, are taught in Key Stage One and studied again in further detail throughout Key Stage Two. Thus allowing the children to grow in their understanding, building upon their prior knowledge and increasing their vocabulary, whilst embedding this procedural knowledge into the long-term memory.
