Overview

Our science curriculum encompasses the aims of the National Curriculum overview.

At Newbold Church of England Primary School, we believe that science is a gateway to curiosity, discovery, and understanding the world around us. Our science curriculum is designed to inspire children to ask questions, explore ideas, and develop a lifelong love of learning through hands-on experiences and real-world connections.

Our science teaching follows the National Curriculum for England, covering key areas such as:

• Biology – plants, animals, habitats, and the human body
• Chemistry – materials, states of matter, and changes
• Physics – forces, light, sound, electricity, and space

Each topic is taught in a way that is age-appropriate, engaging, and inclusive, with opportunities for children to work scientifically by observing, investigating, predicting, and recording their findings.
