Whittington Primary School provides all students with the opportunity to participate in fortnightly STEM classes. Children are encouraged to explore the world around them and develop their understanding of science concepts.

The Science curriculum provides opportunities for students to develop an understanding of important scientific concepts and processes, the practices used to develop scientific knowledge, the contribution of science to our culture and society, and its applications in our lives. The curriculum supports students to develop the scientific knowledge, understandings and skills to make informed decisions about local, national and global issues and to participate, if they so wish, in science-related careers.

We aim to give children the ability to solve problems and make informed, evidence based decisions, while developing skills such as questioning, predicting, planning, conducting, analysing and evaluating.
