At Willow Farm Primary School, we consider science an essential part of every child's education, ensuring a broad and balanced curriculum that fosters curiosity, exploration, and understanding of the world. Recognising its impact on all aspects of daily life, we prioritise the teaching and learning of science, giving it the prominence it deserves.

Our science curriculum is designed to ignite a lifelong passion for scientific discovery, encouraging pupils to appreciate its relevance in the real world through engaging, hands-on experiences. We cultivate an atmosphere of enquiry through practical investigations that deepen learning and promote mastery.

We strive to build on children’s natural curiosity and sense of awe, delivering engaging and effective lessons that strengthen their understanding of the National Curriculum and beyond. By incorporating opportunities for cooperative learning, we ensure that pupils develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, enhancing both their scientific knowledge and their ability to collaborate.

By providing a relevant, challenging, and enjoyable science curriculum—progressive in vocabulary, skills, and knowledge—we aim to develop creative thinkers with a deep respect for the world around them. Our commitment is to ensure every child sees the possibilities within science and embraces its role in shaping the future.
