At St Barnabas and St Helena’s Federation, our science curriculum is designed to unlock the potential of every child, enabling them to explore and understand the world around them through curiosity, investigation, and discovery. Rooted in our commitment to working in unity, we ensure that all children have equal access to high-quality, engaging science education.

We believe that a broad and balanced science education is a right, not a privilege. Our curriculum encourages children to flourish academically and personally by developing the skills of observation, prediction, planning, and investigation, through creative and hands on experiences. These skills are built upon year after year, fostering confidence and independence.

Scientific enquiry is at the heart of every unit. Children are encouraged to ask thoughtful questions, explore ideas, and apply a range of enquiry methods, as they seek positive change in the world, through their growing understanding of scientific concepts. In doing so, they learn to think critically, make informed decisions, and become responsible citizens.

Through hands-on learning, collaborative exploration, and inclusive practice, we aim to nurture children who are not only knowledgeable but also passionate about science and its role in shaping a better future.
