Science
Our science lessons follow the British National Curriculum for KS1, KS2 and KS3. This course covers key concepts across biology, chemistry, and physics, ensuring that students develop scientific knowledge, reasoning skills, and curiosity about the natural world.
KS1
Plants and animals
Students will explore the life cycles of plants and animals, learning to identify and describe common species, their habitats, and their basic needs for survival.
KS1
Everyday materials
This section covers the properties of materials, such as wood, metal, plastic, and glass, helping children understand how everyday objects are made.
KS1
Seasonal changes
Students will explore the four seasons and how weather, daylight, and the natural environment change throughout the year.
KS2 Living things and their habitats
Students learn about a variety of living organisms, ecosystems, and how living things depend on each other for survival.
Lessons will include food chains, environmental changes, and the importance of conservation, fostering an early understanding of ecology.
KS2 Forces and magnets
Students will dive into the basics of forces, learning about push, pull, friction, and magnetic forces through practical experiments.
They will investigate how different forces act on objects and how magnets attract or repel materials.
KS2 Light and sound
This section teaches students how light travels, how shadows are formed, and how sound is produced and travels.
KS3 Biology
Students explore cell biology, structure and function of living organisms, ecosystems, reproduction, and inheritance. Topics include cells, tissues, organs, human systems (digestive, circulatory, respiratory), adaptations, and the environment.
KS3 Chemistry
Focuses on the particle model, elements, compounds, chemical reactions, acids and alkalis, the periodic table, and earth’s resources. Students learn about states of matter, bonding, mixtures, and the carbon cycle.
KS3 Physics
Covers forces, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and space. Key concepts include motion, energy transfers, electrical circuits, sound and light waves, and the solar system.
Whether investigating ecosystems, working with forces and energy, or learning about the wonders of space, students are encouraged to ask questions and apply their knowledge to everyday life. Our lessons ensure students gain a deeper understanding of science while fostering a lifelong love for discovery and exploration.
