Delivering the Science Curriculum at Walsgrave:
Our Science curriculum starts in Early Years. Children develop their understanding of the world through a range of hands-on experiences, including exploring their surroundings using the senses, and discovering more about the natural world.
In Years 1-6, Science is planned and delivered following Inspire Education Trust’s own Science long-term plan. Children’s skills are developed through cohesive units of work based around the three disciplines within Science: Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
