At Essendon, Science is taught through an engaging, hands‑on curriculum based on the Kapow scheme. Our aim is to nurture curiosity, develop secure scientific knowledge and build confident young investigators.

Through practical experiments, clear vocabulary teaching and a carefully sequenced progression of skills, pupils learn to ask questions, test ideas and make sense of the world around them. We provide meaningful, real‑life learning experiences that inspire children to think critically and enjoy exploring scientific concepts.

Our Science curriculum ensures all pupils develop the knowledge, skills and curiosity they need for future learning and to understand the role of science in everyday life.
