Science at St Wilfrid’s encompasses learning about the physical, chemical and biological aspects of our world (and beyond: one of the UKS2 units is ‘Space’). As well as learning knowledge about the world around us, pupils are required to work scientifically and investigate complex concepts with increasing skill and independence.

By investigating key questions through practical experiments, pupils are encouraged to challenge their preconceptions and what they think they know in order to find the truth. Our science lessons nurture our pupils’ natural curiosity about the world around them and their quest for answers.

In keeping with our Christian Vision based on The Parable of The Mustard Seed (Mark 4 30:32) our children grow and develop as Scientists through their school journey as their knowledge, skills and vocabulary develop through a diverse range of topics.
