Dovecot Primary School

Learning together, growing together

Science

Our science curriculum aims to stimulate pupils’ interest in science and to foster a sense of awe and wonder. Through high quality teaching and learning, we aim to bring a sense of excitement to our science lessons. Meaningful investigations and enquiry are the core of every child’s learning.

Our children study specific science units every term (see Long Term Plan), and by the end of their school career, they will have covered the whole National Curriculum and much more!

We want our children not only to access science in school, but to engage in real-life science at home, through inspiring our parents and carers with parent-learning days and Science Weeks.

Ultimately, Dovecot's science curriculum aims to develop ambitious aspirations, through excellent teaching and learning, where every child feels and knows that they are a scientist!
