Science Policy

At Ledbury Primary School we are committed to delivering an exciting, child-led, enquiry based science curriculum. We have worked with the children to decide what makes a great science lesson and used these ideas to inform our Principles of Teaching and Learning as laid out below.

Through our curriculum we want the children to:

be inspired to find out more and confident to report their findings
understand that science is open ended and there are always opportunities to discover more
develop and share ideas and feel able to question these ideas and those of others based on evidence generated
record in a variety of creative ways including the use of technology
be assessed in a formative way which challenges them by providing the next steps
confidently use scientific vocabulary
