Science

At Castle Hill we thrive to inspire all pupils to become enthusiastic scientists. As one of the core subjects we strive to give science the importance it deserves. 


We believe a high-quality science education provides the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Science has changed our lives and is vital to the world’s future prosperity, and all pupils should be taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science. Through building up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts, pupils are encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. They are encouraged to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes. 


Through studying science, pupils become ‘a little more expert’ as they progress through the curriculum, accumulating, connecting and making sense of the rich substantive and disciplinary knowledge. 


Aims of the Science Curriculum

The National Curriculum for science aims to ensure that all pupils:


Our Science curriculum is knowledge and vocabulary rich, ensuring children gain a deep understanding of fundamental scientific concepts and working scientifically as well as embedding key science-specific vocabulary and terminology.
