At St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, we deliver an ambitious science education powered by the Oak National Academy Science framework. Developed by leading education specialists and researchers, this evidence-backed curriculum builds our pupils' knowledge step by step through carefully sequenced units.

Our curriculum focuses on three core pillars:

• Evidence-Informed Sequencing: Lessons are designed to build a secure foundation in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, seamlessly connecting concepts as pupils progress.

• Purposeful Practical Work: Hands-on activities are never just an add-on; they are deliberately paired with scientific theory to deepen conceptual understanding.

• Addressing Misconceptions: Built-in diagnostic questioning allows teachers to target and correct misunderstandings immediately.

• Cross-Curricular Links: Mathematical skills used in science—like data analysis—help to reinforce learning.

Through engaging with big scientific questions, our pupils don't just learn facts—they learn how to explore, question, and understand the world around them
