Science Intent

At St John's CE Primary School, our science curriculum meets the National Curriculum's statutory needs, and is designed to meet the needs of all pupils at our school. Science is valued as an important part of pupils' entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum and is planned to build on disciplinary and substantive knowledge continually.

At St John’s Primary School, we aim to deliver creative, high-quality science lessons that engage, excite and inspire our pupils. We are committed to fostering a sense of curiosity and wonder about natural phenomena and develop our children’s understanding of the world around us through the disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. We follow the CUSP Curriculum for Science to  ensure full coverage of the National Curriculum and allow pupils to develop ­­­their scientific knowledge and skills through the delivery of memorable, enriching lessons.

'CUSP Science pays close attention to guidance provided by the National Curriculum sequence and content. It is infused with evidence led practice and enriched with retrieval studies to ensure long term retention of foundational knowledge. The foundations of CUSP Science are cemented in the EYFS through learning within the Natural World, and People, Culture and Communities.'
