Science

My name is Rose Pearce and I lead the subject of Science across our school. In this role, I have a strategic overview of this subject and regularly liaise with teachers, in all year groups, to ensure that your child has a rich and exciting experience of Science. I also coordinate whole-school, ‘one off’ events, linked to scientific celebration, such as the National Science Week.

Below you will find a lot of information about your child’s journey through our school as a scientist.

If you have any questions about this subject, or have relevant expertise that you feel you could offer, then please do not hesitate in contacting me: [email protected]

What Key Knowledge will my child learn in each unit?

Here you will find my Golden Nuggets documents, which layout the essential scientific knowledge that your child should be able to recall by the end of the learning sequence. They also make great discussion point questions, when you ask your child, "What did you do at school today?" and they respond with, "Nothing."
