At Hatherleigh we understand the importance of Science in every aspect of daily life, how it has changed our lives and is vital to the world’s future. We know that for children to become scientists, they not only need knowledge, but also the skills to work scientifically and opportunities for these skills and knowledge to be applied through a progressive curriculum.
Our aim is to develop enquiring minds and curiosity about science and the natural world through memorable and practical learning experiences. Our children develop the skills of scientific enquiry (across the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics) to plan and carry out scientific investigations and evaluate scientific evidence to draw conclusions.
