SHINE in Science
​

SUCCEED 

We want all pupils to confidently utilise the essential components of Science and develop these aspects to a high standard, constantly striving towards creating a cohesive community.  We want to embed pupils’ ability to retain scientific knowledge and understanding, confidently carry out scientific investigations and enhance their enquiry skills whilst embedding scientific vocabulary. 

HAPPY 

We will provide a motivating learning environment which promotes enthusiasm and enjoyment across all aspects of Science. Our tailored Science curriculum provides opportunities to explore, practice and apply different types of scientific enquiry, whilst being drenched in scientific vocabulary. Pupils attitudes and contributions are praised and valued and their contributions as individuals are valued. 

INSPIRE 

We will inspire all pupils through our multi-sensory approach to providing a stimulating Science curriculum, which inspires life-long knowledge, skills and understanding. There is a range of opportunities to develop cross curricular learning in science. Educational visits and visitors are planned to increase engagement, enhance learning and gain hands on experiences. 

NURTURE 

We will build strong foundations with parents and pupils, based on honesty and collaboration. We will scaffold and nurture quality – first learning opportunities, whilst celebrating and supporting diversity, in order to foster independent learning and application, across the Science curriculum. Pupil voice gives us an insight into children’s learning in science, as well as their thoughts and opinions.  

EDUCATE 

We will treat all pupils as individuals, carefully monitoring their progress from their unique starting points and plan tailored to their next steps. We will effectively model and scaffold learning through the use of concrete resources and scientific evidence, enabling pupils to acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills required in order to become independent, successful scientists both now and in later life.
