We believe science is for everyone and that pupils at primary school should continue to love science until KS5. Through our curriculum at Heathfield Academy we will start to build this passion through:
· Introducing students to the scientific method through experimentation and logic, allowing them to critically assess the world through the lens of a fact-based worldview and understand that processes are interlinked and happen for a reason and through this become an independent practical enquirer.
· Identifying the misconceptions and gaps in pupils’ knowledge and enable them to dispel them with independence, through the transferable skills developed.
· Teaching students to be conscious and deliberate in their use of specific language in the search for new vocabulary, knowledge and through this develop their scientific literacy.
· Developing a critical awareness of the scientific wider world through real-life experiences.
