Science

At Bordesley Village Primary School we have strived to maintain excellent standards in the teaching and learning of science. To meet national expectations for our children we have invested in the Collin’s Hub (version 2) scheme. This scheme is one which evolves to ensure teachers are always up-to-date with any changes to the new curriculum.

 

As part of our assessment routine we have established the Rising Stars material which helps teachers to track pupil progress throughout each topic through diagnostic and end of unit assessments. In addition to meeting the statutory requirements, we aim to reinforce our children’s learning using Enrichment or practical lessons. These lessons aim to give the children the investigative opportunities to apply learning and close any gaps.

 

Our long- and medium-term plans for Science across the school can be found on our curriculum overview documents on our introduction page. To see what topics we are covering this term, click the links below:

To foster collaborative thinking and higher order skills, we have put a significant focus on language development in science. To support children with this and towards the improvement of conceptual understanding, we encourage children to complete the science holiday homework tasks before a new unit of study has begun. Your support in enabling the children to achieve this is greatly appreciated.
