INTENT

The purpose of the Futura Learning Partnership cross-phase Science curriculum is to help students understand and question the world around them. This links well with our current, progressive Scheme 'Plan B' which follows the same overviews and intent as Futura. It gives them the scientific knowledge and skills that they need in order to be successful in their future lives and make a contribution to the wider community. Students are empowered with a strong knowledge base that they can then use to evaluate important issues, analyse evidence and problem solve. They develop the confidence to form their own opinions and articulate themselves effectively. Our engaging and challenging curriculum means that students who have studied Science at a Futura school will continue to enjoy learning about Science and how the world works throughout their lives.

Inclusion: Our curriculum is ambitious for all and strives to address inclusion and disadvantage in its intent and implementation

Year 3

Year 3 learnt that fossils can take millions of years to form, however, they made theirs in an afternoon! In English they have been learning how to write instructions so following instructions of how to make a fossil helped with our learning.
