St Margaret's C of E Primary School

Curriculum » Science

At St Margaret's, we use the White Rose Science curriculum. This scheme is designed to make learning accessible and engaging for every child. This is a progressive scheme and build on knowledge step by step to ensure progress for all children. Lessons are packed with purposeful practical activities and investigations, giving children first-hand experiences. We embed essential scientific vocabulary and key questions to develop children's scientific talk and reasoning. The scheme fully covers National Curriculum objectives, broken down into manageable blocks with detailed guidance. Scientific enquiry skills are embedded throughout encouraging children to explore, investigate and evaluate. Where possible, Science lessons are taught weekly in every year group to ensure consistent progress is made.

British Science Week 2024

This year we were lucky enough to have Sublime Science workshops for every class in school, funded by our brilliant PTA. These were so exciting and really brought the awe and wonder of Science to life for our children. We also had visits from some of our amazing parents who work in the STEM field. The parents kindly gave up their time to come in and inspire our children with a range of different STEM careers, our children were so enthused. We have lots of budding Scientists now! Finally, we ended the week with announcing the winners of our Science poster competition in the PROUD assembly. A huge congratulations to our winners and a big thank you to everyone who took the time and effort to enter. All the posters were so brilliant, it was a difficult choice!
