Science
Progression Through year
In Years 1 and 2, Science plays a vital role in helping children understand the world around them. At this stage, students explore basic concepts through observation and exploration. They begin to learn about plants, animals, materials, weather, and the human body, developing curiosity and a sense of wonder about their environment. Early exposure to scientific thinking helps children ask questions, make predictions, and notice patterns, laying the groundwork for critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Science in the early years also supports practical learning and everyday understanding. By engaging with the natural world, children develop observation and reasoning skills that are applicable in daily life. This encourages curiosity, encourages them to explore, and helps build a positive attitude toward learning. Establishing a strong foundation in Science during Years 1 and 2 prepares students to approach more complex scientific concepts with confidence as they progress through primary school.
Progression Through year
In Years 3 and 4, Science becomes more structured and concept-driven, helping students build on the foundations developed in earlier years. At this stage, children explore topics such as energy, forces, life cycles, habitats, and the properties of materials. They begin to draw conclusions as well as developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This stage encourages students to ask deeper questions about how and why things happen, fostering curiosity and a growing understanding of the natural and physical world.
Science in Years 3 and 4 also supports real-world understanding and practical application. By exploring cause-and-effect relationships, students learn to make predictions, test ideas, and interpret results. These experiences strengthen analytical thinking, observation skills, and scientific reasoning, while promoting a love of discovery. Developing these abilities at this stage equips students with the confidence and knowledge to tackle more complex scientific concepts in upper primary school.
Progression Through year
In Years 5 and 6, Science becomes more advanced, preparing students for the transition to secondary school. At this stage, children explore more complex topics such as electricity, forces and motion, ecosystems, the human body, and chemical changes. They engage in problem solving that requires planning, observing, measuring, and drawing evidence-based conclusions. This encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to connect scientific concepts to real-world situations. Students also begin to develop an understanding of the scientific method, learning how to test hypotheses and evaluate results systematically.
Science in Years 5 and 6 also fosters independence, curiosity, and analytical skills. Students gain confidence in their ability to observe, question, and reason scientifically. These experiences prepare them to engage with the more challenging concepts they will encounter in high school and to apply scientific thinking in everyday life. A strong foundation in Science at this stage equips students with both knowledge and skills that are essential for lifelong learning and informed decision-making.
Progression Through year
As students transition to high school, Science becomes increasingly important for developing higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. At this stage, students are expected to understand more complex scientific concepts across biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth and space sciences. Strong scientific knowledge enables students to analyse information, interpret data, test hypotheses, and draw evidence-based conclusions. Developing these skills prepares them to tackle the more rigorous curriculum and independent learning required in high school.
Beyond academics, Science at this stage fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and practical decision-making. Students learn to connect scientific understanding to real-world issues, such as environmental challenges, health, and technology, encouraging informed and responsible choices. By strengthening their scientific skills before entering high school, students gain the confidence, analytical ability, and curiosity needed to succeed academically and engage meaningfully with the world around them.

Personalised Learning
In Years 1 and 2, personalised learning in maths, science, and English ensures every child builds strong foundations at their own pace. Tailored maths activities help children develop confidence with numbers, patterns, and everyday problem-solving, while English pathways support early reading, writing, speaking, and listening based on each child’s ability and progress. By meeting learners where they are, these subjects strengthen thinking skills, improve focus, and nurture curiosity, helping children feel confident, capable, and motivated as they learn both in and beyond the classroom.
The Exercises
In Science modules, carefully designed questionsplay a crucial role in building strong learning foundations. Each module is broken into short, engaging activities with questions that guide children step by step, helping them build confidence with Science based systems. By completing these exercises, children actively practise key skills, strengthen their thinking, and stay focused, making learning feel achievable and rewarding both in and out of the classroom.
