Science
Subject Overview
At Hill Avenue Academy, Science is a valued core subject which allows our children to thrive through investigative experiences. It nurtures and fosters a love of learning through exploring their natural curiosity and promoting independent learners. Our curriculum encapsulates how our children can develop within themselves holistically through working scientifically within practical and hands-on experiences. We believe in building upon scientific knowledge through awe and wonder. We want the children to access a broad and balanced science curriculum, which allows all of our children to understand the wider world through enabling their thinking and powering their curiosity.
​
Scientific knowledge allows the children to develop new technologies, solve practical problems, and make informed decisions along with promoting communication and collaborative learning. Pupils will develop their understanding of the wider world and develop essential skills including enquiry, observation, prediction, analysis, reasoning, and explanation. Critical thinking and the understanding of methods and processes nurtures that natural curiosity within our Hill Avenue Scientists.
The teaching of Science at Hill Avenue will create a pathway to increase fundamental knowledge and provides a voice to the children where problem solving and analytical thinking comes to life. The children will learn about the diverse and valuable careers enabling them to look ahead to their futures. The aim is for children to feel excitement throughout their explorations and to excel in their scientific achievements.
