At The Milford Academy, we believe that it is imperative to develop the minds of young scientists by sharing important, key knowledge and vocabulary to our pupils. We believe that a high-quality science education provides the foundations for understanding the world around us. Science has changed our lives and it is vital to the world’s future prosperity and sustainability. Through building up a body of key knowledge and concepts, pupils should be encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about the world they live in. They should be encouraged to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse their results.
Science plays a crucial role in our understanding of the world around us Our Geography topics link to our Science topics, so children can understand that what we learn in the classroom helps us understand our own environments as well as those around the globe. Our science teaching helps us to prepare children for life, through experiences and exploration of the world in which they live. Children discover, explain and develop skills of enquiry through working scientifically.
