Subject Leader: Hannah Horsford
At Charing Church of England Primary School, we believe that Science is a vital subject that sparks curiosity, encourages exploration, and deepens understanding of the world around us. Rooted in our Christian values of compassion, friendship, forgiveness, resilience, and hope, our Science curriculum nurtures inquisitive, passionate, and resilient lifelong learners who confidently explore scientific ideas and phenomena. Reflecting our vision to develop and celebrate every child’s unique talents, Science enables pupils to engage with their environment through questioning, investigation, and reflection, fostering a sense of wonder and responsibility as compassionate stewards of God’s creation.
Key Aims
Our Science teaching aims to stimulate pupils’ natural curiosity by encouraging them to ask meaningful scientific questions and seek evidence-based answers. We are committed to developing children’s enjoyment of Science and their confidence in planning, conducting, and evaluating investigations. Through explicit teaching of scientific vocabulary and concepts, aligned with our whole-school priority to embed subject-specific language and strengthen long-term memory, we empower pupils to communicate scientific ideas clearly and accurately. Science at Charing also supports critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for their academic progress and lifelong learning.
