Science Provision Map
This document is subject to change as we continue to work as a school on curriculum development.
Recent research shows us that: Science is a core subject and therefore provision should be equally as strong and frequent as literacy and maths. (Ofsted, 2019). There is currently an attainment gap in science at every stage: it is apparent at the end of KS1 and gets wider through primary and secondary education with the gap growing particularly strongly between the ages of 5-7. Strongest factor affecting pupils science is their literacy skills (difficulties understanding vocabulary in particular). There is strong evidence that the ability to reason scientifically – by having sound ‘working scientifically’ skills – is a strong predictor of later success in science. Pupils should therefore have ample opportunity to design and carry out their own experiments and investigations (EEF, 2019).
