Science
At St. Patrick’s, our intent is that the teaching of science will foster pupils' natural curiosity about our universe and promote respect for the living and non-living. Our curriculum has been developed using Snap Science resources to ensure full coverage of the National Curriculum through a breadth of awe and wonder inspiring learning opportunities. We aim to develop scientific knowledge and enquiry, vocabulary and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics (and in making links to other curriculum areas). Our pupils will be equipped with the scientific skills to understand the uses and implications of science for today and the future.
