The world is going to need problem-solvers, critical thinkers, designers, technologists and scientists to be able to implement change, adaptation and sustainability for our world. We at Middle Barton recognise the importance of these future jobs and vocations and want to help equip our children for this future.
We have carefully developed a curriculum with a progressional knowledge structure so that our pupils have a skill set that enables them to understand the importance of the sciences and the role that they could play in developing sustainable resources, alternative energies, and forefront innovations. Our science curriculum has been carefully designed to strike a balance between children securing the knowledge and understanding they need of key scientific concepts, whilst also enabling them to develop their ‘working scientifically skills’ through a range of scientific enquiry types and cross-curricular learning opportunities.
