Our Science Lead in school is Mrs Ward.

As Science Lead at Beckers Green, I am passionate about developing a curriculum that sparks curiosity and nurtures a love of learning about the world around us. My role is to ensure that science teaching is engaging, challenging, and accessible for all pupils. I work closely with staff to provide high-quality resources, training, and support so that every child can develop the skills of observation, investigation, and critical thinking.

Our science curriculum is designed to build strong foundations in scientific knowledge while encouraging pupils to ask questions, explore ideas, and make connections. Through practical experiences and enquiry-based learning, we aim to inspire the next generation of scientists and problem-solvers.

Vision for Science

Our vision for Science at Beckers Green is to inspire children's natural curiosity and develop their understanding of the world around them, including the uses and implications of Science, today and for the future.

Science at Beckers is:

Collaborative - children work collaboratively, developing their oracy skills through discussion;

Investigative - children ask questions and work scientifically to develop enquiring minds and think like a scientist

Engaging - children engage in purposeful, practical activities to consolidate their scientific knowledge;

Not just about fair testing - children use different types of scientific enquiry to answer questions;

Connected to the world around us - children increase their science capital by applying their learning to the world around them and their own personal experiences;

Expands their vocabulary - children develop their scientific vocabulary.

Through our science curriculum, we want every child to see themselves as a scientist—confident, inquisitive, and ready to explore the world with wonder.

The school was recently awarded the Primary Science quality Mark and we are very proud of this achievement.
