Intent

At Woodside Academy, our vision is to inspire children through science by sparking curiosity, encouraging questioning, and helping them make sense of the world around them. We aim to nurture confident learners who enjoy exploring, investigating and thinking scientifically. Our curriculum is designed to ensure all pupils can achieve high standards through a rich, progressive and enquiry-based approach. In line with the 2014 National Curriculum, children develop secure knowledge across biology, chemistry and physics, while also building their understanding of the world through environmental (Eco) learning. By the end of their primary education, pupils are equipped with the knowledge, skills and curiosity to make informed decisions about the world around them and to recognise the relevance of science in everyday life and future careers. From early years to year 6, we aim to develop pupils’ ‘science capital’ (the science-related knowledge, experiences, and influences a child has), so they can see how science connects to real-world contexts and aspirations for the future.
