Science

At North Borough Junior School we want our pupils to develop an enjoyment and interest in science, a sense of awe, excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena and an recognition of the power of rational explanation. During their time here, we seek for them to gain an appreciation of the contribution science makes to all aspects of everyday life and for some pupils to become inspired to follow a future career in the subject, possibly leading to the next great discovery of our time. To enable them to fulfil  this journey, we recognise that a firm grasp of scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding is essential in order to provide them with a secure foundation for their future learning. We help them to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes. We aim for all pupils to be Scientifically literate and able to discern scientific fact from scientific fiction, interpreting the evidence accordingly so that they are well equipped for life beyond our school.
