Science at Brimsdown Primary School

Our Brimsdown science curriculum aims to raise pupils’ aspirations by encouraging curiosity so that they ask questions that fuel investigations and explorations about the world they live in. Pupils are given opportunities to learn through practical activities, real-life experiences and develop their ‘Working Scientifically’ skills. We believe that these opportunities will ensure that our children are confident, life-long learners who will be prepared for their future.
