Science

At St. Peter's, our vision is to provide a rich variety of scientific opportunities that inspire and engage all children, ensuring every child, regardless of ability, has the chance to learn, have fun, and develop their science understanding. We are committed to creating a learning environment where science is accessible to all.  Through this, we aim to help all children feel confident in their ability to engage with science and reach their full potential.

To achieve this, we ensure our teaching of science is fluid and adaptable, encouraging children to ask questions and seek answers through their own enquiries. We promote an inclusive approach where every child’s voice is heard, and where they are encouraged to explore, debate, and challenge each other. We celebrate mistakes, as we know they are essential to becoming better scientists and building resilience.
Our hands-on, practical approach fosters curiosity and promotes questioning, making connections to the real world. This makes the science children are learning meaningful and relevant to their lives, preparing them for the future. 

We believe that our vibrant and interactive curriculum will be better remembered by our children, and that the opportunities we offer will empower them to become confident, life-long learners. Ultimately, we want our children to leave St. Peter’s with the curiosity, skills, and mindset to continue exploring the world around them, equipped to navigate future challenges.
