Science at Clarendon Junior School
Jules Verne
We are DELIGHTED to share that we have achieved PSQM Gilt for Science for Clarendon Juniors!
Our Schools Vision for Science is for ALL CHILDREN TO HAVE OR GET AN IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENCE!
Intent
At Clarendon Junior School, we have clear intent to provide children with an in-depth understanding in science. As a school, we have identified the key science principles which should be used within all aspects of scientific learning. It is our intent that these will be included within every science lesson. These are written in the perspective of a child, and they are:
Implementation
Our intent within Science is for all children to leave KS2 with these skills:
- Plan and conduct and enquiry without the support of an adult
- Report and present their findings in different ways (graphs, tables, verbal reports and written reports)
- To identify and explore the 5 main enquiry types
- To cover the key scientific concepts and knowledge for each year group (previously knowledge will have been identified through discussion tasks)
- Develop an understanding of how to remain safe within Science and use equipment responsibly
Impact
All of the above principles combine to create a clear vision for science in our school. Children will receive high quality hands-on experiences to develop their understanding of the world around them and develop their Science Capital. As a result, they will become inquisitive learners who endeavour to understand why things happen. This will help the children to become experienced individuals with a variety of skills for the future.
