Robin Hood Primary School

Science at Robin Hood Primary School

Science is at the heart of our curriculum at Robin Hood. Through a revised curriculum and engaging teaching, we aim to provide all children with the opportunity to become scientists in their own right. Our children are exposed to the strands of Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and are learning about these through each unit taught.

The Essentials Curriculum sets out in depth objectives, which are followed by each year group, allowing progression through school of skills and knowledge. At the start of each lesson, the children revisit previous learning, as a way of ensuring they are given the opportunity to recall and address prior knowledge and iron out any misconceptions. 

Through different 'Working Scientifically' skills, children take part in teacher-led and self-led Science lessons; using questioning, fair testing, observing over time, pattern seeking, identifying, problem solving and classifying to develop their scientific knowledge . Our children know that these skills are the foundation of being a Scientist and that they are transferable to all areas of their learning. 

As a school, we provide many opportunities for practical, hands-on learning with the use of the school and local environment, as well as the wider scientific community. We aim to show children all the places a career in Science can take you, and the diverse community of people who work within the field of STEM.
