Science

At Billingshurst Primary Academy, we want all learners to embody the school values: Ambition, Belonging and Courage. Through our values-led curriculum, we work together to ensure children are prepared for their next stages of life in modern Britain and beyond.

 Within our Science curriculum, we aim to develop an interest and curiosity for science by having the ambition to explore the answers to big questions like: ‘How does the digestive system work?’ or ‘What are the relative distances between the planets in our Solar System?’ This involves developing children’s ideas and ways of working that enable them to make sense of the world through investigation. We combine substantive and disciplinary knowledge to make practical skills, mathematical proficiency, and scientific practices meaningful.

We provide regular enrichment opportunities to encourage our scientists of the future. Including: science days, visitors, school trips, diversity and promoting women in STEM, and a STEM club.
