Science
| Intent | |||
| At Dorothy Barley Junior Academy we believe that scientific investigation is one of the most powerful ways to learn; developing curiosity and perseverance as well as challenging what we know about the world. We aim to make Science as practical as possible, linking it to real life contexts and giving a meaning to our learning. Science lessons are open ended and practical in nature, allowing children to use a wide range of resources to lead the learning and make their own discoveries. Scientific thinking is not just limited to the classroom; we encourage children to continue their enquiries at home with parents through our termly science projects. |

The National Curriculum provides a structure and skills progression for the Science curriculum taught and assessed throughout the school. The Reach2 scheme is used to plan and show progression across the school.
