Science
At Grange, Science helps children develop curiosity about the world around them and understand their role within it. Through the study of biology, chemistry and physics, pupils explore how the natural and physical world works using observation, investigation and experimentation.
Our science curriculum encourages children to think and work like scientists. They learn to ask questions, make predictions, test ideas and draw conclusions from evidence. Pupils develop a systematic approach to enquiry through different types of scientific investigation, including observing over time, pattern seeking, classifying and grouping, comparative testing and research using secondary sources.
We place a strong emphasis on building scientific knowledge and vocabulary progressively across each year group. Children revisit key concepts regularly so that they deepen their understanding and can confidently explain scientific ideas.
Science learning is enriched through real-world experiences such as educational visits across London, participation in events like the Ealing Science Fair, assemblies led by pupils and visitors, and an after-school science club. We also celebrate the achievements of diverse scientists from different backgrounds to inspire our pupils.
By the end of their primary education, children are able to communicate their scientific understanding clearly, apply enquiry skills confidently and show enthusiasm for exploring science both in school and beyond.
