Science
At Epsom Primary and Nursery School, we understand that we live in a world where scientific discoveries are happening all around us. Our aim is to provide the skills and knowledge needed for life in the 21st Century. Science is all about asking big questions about the world around us, including living things, materials, forces, energy and the environment. At Epsom Primary and Nursery School, we nurture children’s sense of wonder and natural curiosity. We encourage children to be ambitious and ask big questions, solve problems and challenge ideas. We provide hands-on practical science, where children are able to explore scientific concepts, make predictions, observing scientific processes and draw conclusions. Pupils are active scientists who do science to learn science and we ensure that pupils have ample opportunities to do this throughout their learning. We teach children to be curious, to be resilient, to work collaboratively and show respect and sensitivity towards living things and the environment. The diversity of our community is reflected in our inclusive approach to science, which enables all pupils to think and work like scientists, explore the world around them and develop a sense of enthusiasm for science.
