Westbury Leigh Science
We want every child to be a scientist and
- develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics
- develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them
- be equipped with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.
We follow the Plymouth Science Scheme which focuses on developing a sense of excitement and curiosity. Children are expected to use science to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave and analyse causes.
Children follow a clear programme of study and learn in depth about plants, animals and evolution, materials, light, sound and electricity, forces and magnets, earth and space.
RRS Article 28 - You have the right to a good quality education. You should be encouraged to go to school to the highest level you can.
