‘Shine like stars in the universe’ 

Philippians 2;15

Our vision provides a guiding light to the pupils, staff, Governors and parents to ensure we have a dynamic mix of high achievement for all, exceptional pastoral care and expansive opportunities for the children. We want our children to become the exemplary citizens of the future. We are a vibrant, happy, family orientated community where everyone really feels they can flourish and  achieve anything to which they set their hearts and minds.

Science

We use the National Curriculum alongside our vision to ensure we offer a dynamic mix of expansive curriculum opportunities for the children and  high achievement for all. We want our children to become the exemplary citizens of the future.

Science is planned to develop skills, attitudes, knowledge and understanding which will enable the child to comprehend the world in which we live.  Through practical activities children are encouraged to observe, devise experiments and formulate hypotheses.  The main areas of study will be: living things and their interaction with the environment; materials and their characteristics and energy and forces.

We also have our own Woodland School teacher to work with different pupils every week.
