Curriculum Intent
When you step into a science lesson at The Promise School, we want you to embark on an adventure of possibility. Science ignites curiosity, interest and enjoyment in all students whilst furnishing them with the necessary skills to successfully explore the world around them.
Science starts with an idea and then equips you with the skills to prove or disprove it. Seeing the relationship between empirical evidence and your theory helps you think critically. These important thinking skills can be applied in many areas of study and nourishes a developing mind.
Science feeds a natural love for learning. Science is hands-on, it appeals readily to most students.
Science opens doors to many disciplines. Building an aptitude for science can be helpful in other areas of study; science encourages math, creativity and argument. An interest in science is an interest in how things were once understood compared to how they are understood now so studying science also lends itself easily to studying history. And hand-in-hand with every lab experiment is the report – thus writing becomes a crucial part of science. Even the study of language itself is a part of science; its specialist terminology can be traced back to Latin or Ancient Greek.
Science prepares our students for the future. It is the basis for life. We literally eat, sleep and breathe science.
Our curriculum has been designed to enable all learners to gain skills in biology, chemistry and physics in a theoretical and practical sense.
