At Abbotswood Junior School, we are dedicated to fostering a passion for Science through a broad, innovative, and engaging curriculum. We believe that every child has the potential to be a scientist, and our approach empowers pupils to think critically, ask questions, and investigate the world around them with curiosity and creativity. Through a rich blend of practical experiments, hands-on activities and enquiry-based learning, we provide opportunities for children to develop a deep understanding of scientific concepts while honing their disciplinary knowledge.

Our dynamic, integrated curriculum ensures that Science, where possible, is woven into a rich learning journey that provides a purpose, context and audience for learning. We have designed our curriculum to encourage children to take ownership of their learning, exploring a wide range of scientific contexts and drawing their own conclusions from the data they collect. By placing emphasis on enquiry, we nurture a growth mindset that supports resilience, perseverance, and independent thinking. Above all, we aim to ignite a lifelong love of Science that will inspire our pupils to continue exploring, questioning, and discovering the world throughout their lives.
