Science
At Priory Rise, we provide a broad and balanced Science curriculum which promotes and excites pupils’ knowledge and curiosity about the world around them. Lessons are interactive and practical, allowing children to experience scientific concepts first-hand as much as possible and develop their scientific enquiry skills using high-quality resources. Priory Rise promotes curiosity and fosters opportunities for children to question, explore and discover through interesting and relevant contexts. Alongside these skills, children are equipped with vocabulary and understanding which will allow them to explain, evaluate and extend their ideas and conclusions.
A range of topics are covered throughout the school in line with the National Curriculum and Early Years Framework. These have been carefully sequenced in order to allow children to revisit and consolidate their previous learning and use it as a foundation as they progress through the school.
