At West Thornton, our vision within the science curriculum is to foster inquisitive life-long learners, who continue to explore the world around them. We encourage our children to confidently ask questions and investigate in order to develop a deeper understanding of the world in which we live. We aim to equip our children with the knowledge and skills to take personal ownership of their learning, which will enable them to make inter and intra personal links. 

To achieve this it involves exciting and practical hands-on experiences that encourage curiosity and questioning. Through this challenging and stimulating curriculum we aim to inspire and excite our children and foster a thirst for knowledge, which delves into the scientific world around them. In addition, the teaching of science will promote and develop transferable skills such as observation, communication and teamwork and allow mathematical skills to be applied.
