The Science Curriculum

At Chasetown Community School, we provide exciting and stimulating adapted lessons that are inclusive and promote problem solving and discovery through a practical element. We use top quality resources that are purposeful and relevant: working scientifically objectives are taught alongside the national curriculum content ensuring clear and focused coverage of the 5 enquiry types. This expands pupils understanding of the world that they live in and gives them the tools to be able to think as scientists. Pupils are inspired to ask questions which promote independent learning. They are encouraged to question the world around them and to use prior learning to explain what they discover.  The pupils at Chasetown Community School appreciate science being used in their local environment and everyday life: this promotes cross-curricular links and helps them relate science to their own experiences. During our lessons, the pupils are exposed to scientific vocabulary in a progressive and ambitious manner: lessons involve clear and concise modelling of this vocabulary giving children the confidence to use the correct terminology in their work.
