Science

Vision Statement

At Chalkwell Hall Junior School, we believe a high-quality science curriculum provides the foundations for understanding the world. Science has changed our lives monumentally and is vital to the world’s future health, wealth, and prosperity. At Chalkwell Hall Junior School, pupils will be taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes, and uses of science so that they work and think like a professional in the field of science.

Our aim is to give all Science learning a context in the real world and for children to recognise their potential to be Scientists inside and beyond the classroom. Our science curriculum will develop in pupils a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. Our science curriculum will empower pupils to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes of natural and man-made phenomena.

Science opens a wealth of opportunities for children both on a professional and personal level. Science can be the step into a medical, engineering or research career.
