At Starcross Primary School, we are committed to providing all of our children with a broad, progressive and engaging Science curriculum. Science stimulates and excites pupils’ curiosity about phenomena and events in the world around them.  It also satisfies their curiosity with knowledge. Because science links direct practical experience with ideas, it can engage learners at many levels. Scientific method is about developing and evaluating explanations through experimental evidence and modelling.  This is a spur to critical and creative thought.  Through science, pupils understand how major scientific ideas contribute to technological change – impacting on industry, business and medicine and improving the quality of life.  Pupils recognise the cultural significance of science and trace its world-wide development.  They learn to question and discuss science-based issues that may affect their own lives, the direction of society and the future of the world.
