School Vision: Excellence in learning – Investment in Oracy – Strength in Inclusivity

We believe that science should be something children experience, question and do, rather than simply something they learn about. Our science curriculum is designed to inspire children to become curious, confident and knowledgeable scientists. Through practical experiences, discussion, observation and investigation, children develop both their scientific knowledge and the skills they need to think scientifically. In line with our school value, we want every child to develop a sense of curiosity and wonder about the world around them. Our science lessons encourage children to ask questions, explore ideas, investigate the world and develop an understanding of the living, physical and material world. 

An introduction from Miss Smith, Laurel Lane's Science Subject Leader 

As science lead, I believe that science helps children to make sense of the world around them and inspires them to ask questions, explore ideas and develop a lifelong sense of curiosity. Through exciting investigations, hands-on learning experiences and opportunities to explore scientific ideas, we encourage our children to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to understand the world in which they live. We want science lessons at Laurel Lane to inspire wonder and excitement, helping our children to see the relevance of science in their everyday lives and future careers.
