Science
"Science, for me, gives a partial explanation for life. In so far as it goes, it is based on fact, experience and experiment."
- Rosalind Franklin (Chemist, molecular biologist, and one of the key figures behind unlocking the structure of human DNA)

Science at Lanercost
At Lanercost Church of England Primary School, we endeavour to ensure our Science curriculum stimulates and excites children’s curiosity about phenomena whilst satisfying natural curiosity with unfolding knowledge.
We aim for all our children, from Early Years through to Year Six, to enquire, investigate, ask scientific question through the use of high-quality resources, hands-on experiences, visits and visitors and exploration of the outdoor environment. We know that we live in an increasingly scientific and technological age and Science is an area of learning that is fundamental to exploring, understanding and influencing the natural and made worlds in which we live.
Our Science Curriculum
Through our connected and coherent two-year rolling curriculum, we aim to ensure our science curriculum results in the progressive acquisition of key knowledge, whilst enabling all children to become enquiry-based learners with investigative skills. These science lessons will promote joy, open-mindedness and excitement leading to a life-long love of learning science. We explicitly teach children the essential, age-appropriate scientific methods of enquiry, so they are able to confidently and with increasing independence use these skills in a variety of scientific approaches to understand how science can be used today and in the future.
