What we say about science at Coxhoe Primary

Our science lead, Mr Mason, says...

Science is a core subject and is hugely important to help children learn about the way the world works. Our children at Coxhoe love our science lessons! Teachers are great at making the lessons fun and engaging and that is evident in the children's positivity and recall of facts. Science is an essential subject to learn for a number of different careers and at Coxhoe, we are equipping our children with a firm foundation in scientific knowledge, giving them every chance of success in the future.

Our Year 6 science Ambassadors say...

"Here at Coxhoe Primary we enjoy our science curriculum and the experiments we do. Science is a really important subject and helps us answer many of life’s questions. Science links to all sorts of different subjects and careers and it is vital that children get a good understanding of science to help them in the future. Our children love learning about science and are very enthusiastic about their teachers!"

Children from across school say...

Curriculum Intent

It is our aim to help children understand that science is all around us.

By giving children the skills to question their surroundings and how we are all affected by our environment, we can develop our children into scientific thinkers.

Throughout their time at Coxhoe Primary School, children will develop the ability to investigate a wide variety of scientific topics, each year building on the investigation skills they have been taught.
