Godmanchester Bridge Academy is committed to providing a comprehensive and engaging science curriculum that fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love for learning. This aims to foster scientific inquiry, develop scientific literacy, promote cross-curricular connections and emphasise practical applications.
Our scheme is written by the subject lead and supports pupils to meet the National curriculum end of key stage attainment targets. It is designed to give pupils every opportunity to develop an understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer specific questions about the world around them, while giving them the ability to apply previously acquired concepts, skills and knowledge to new situations.
Our scheme aims to encourage children to gather and collate relevant evidence, to questions outcome and to persevere and develop a scientific approach to problem solving by encouraging questioning, a willingness to investigate, a tolerance of uncertainty, open-mindedness and critical reflection.
We aim to give a range of opportunities to relate science to everyday life through the use of everyday materials, technology and experiences; encourage an awareness of continuing scientific advances and their impact on society, both personally/close to home and globally and help all children realise their potential in science at primary school, thereby enabling them to take full advantage of science in secondary school and beyond.
