Nun Monkton Foundation Primary School

Our aim in Science is to foster a curiosity about the world we live in and to nurture an enthusiasm and love of the subject. Science provides the foundations for understanding and thinking critically about our world through biology, chemistry and physics. All pupils will be taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of Science in everyday life. Our Science lessons are based around investigative work in order to engage the children and stimulate their learning. They are encouraged to understand how Science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes.

During their time at Nun Monkton, pupils will develop a body of foundational knowledge and conceptual understanding, while “working scientifically”. Pupils will gain a core set of skills which will enable them to think logically about a problem whilst also understanding the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.
