Science

Welcome to our Science Page

At Corpus Christi we believe that a high quality Science curriculum will help to provide the foundations for understanding the world through the specific scientific areas of biology, chemistry and physics. All pupils will be taught the essential aspects of the skills, knowledge and understanding, methods, processes and uses of science to excite and engage their 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. Children will be taught how to question and develop enquiry skills to progress their learning.

 

We aim to develop well rounded and successful Scientists by:       

  • Teaching scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding
  • Provide opportunities to develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science
  • Equipping children with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.

 

By the time children leave Corpus Christi, we hope they will have a coherent knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas and how to be a confident and curious individual who challenges their own and others’ ideas.
