At Green Haworth, our Science Curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, build secure knowledge and nurture every child’s natural sense of wonder about the world.
As a church of England school, we are committed to supporting all children to achieve their best within a nurturing, supportive and inclusive environment, where each pupil is valued and encouraged to flourish.
Our curriculum is carefully sequenced so that foundational skills are developed progressively over time. Children begin by exploring simple observations, noticing patterns, and using everyday vocabulary with accuracy. As they move through the school, their understanding deepens through structured opportunities to ask questions, plan investigations, test ideas and draw conclusions. This sequential approach ensures that pupils build confidence while strengthening their scientific knowledge and enquiry skills.
Scientific vocabulary is introduced and revisited systematically, enabling children to communicate their ideas with increasing precision. Through practical experiments and hands-on investigations, pupils learn how to observe carefully, record findings and evaluate results. These experiences help them to understand that science is both a body of knowledge and a disciplined process of discovery.
We also place great value on STEM education, recognising the importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in preparing children for the future. By engaging with real-world problems, designing solutions and applying scientific thinking in purposeful contexts, pupils develop creativity, resilience and problem-solving skills.
Above all, our Science Curriculum seeks to foster a lifelong love of science and engineering. We want children to leave Green Haworth with enquiring minds, a secure understanding of scientific processes and a lasting enthusiasm for learning about the world around them.
