At St James, we firmly believe that Science is essential to our learning. Our Science intent is to provide children with the opportunity to understand the world around them whilst thinking in a ‘scientific way’.

We have created a curriculum that builds on prior learning and enquiry skills throughout the different year groups. Take a look at our Long Term Plan:

Some recent successes in Science…

Venturists- The Business of Science Innovation Award

On Thursday 18^th May our Venturists went to Leeds for a national science awards presentation.

Zeke and Arifa had worked on a 10 week project supporting the local community and this had been linked to use recycling to make a greenhouse.

They had worked together, presented to local businesses and then had been shortlisted for a national primary award- The Business of Science Innovation Award.

There were businesses from all over the country there and we WON!!!!!!

We are really proud of the work they have done and are over the moon for them. They received £1000 and a trophy for their success.

A special thank you to Jilly from Participate who has made this happen.
