Science

Welcome to our Science curriculum at Richmond Hill Primary Academy.

At Richmond Hill, the aim of our science curriculum is to encourage children’s exploration, investigation, discovery and experimentation. We strive to unlock each pupil’s excitement and enthusiasm for science whilst making our sessions practical, creative and challenging. From EYFS to year 6, pupils gain hands-on experience of discovering the world of science all around them. They are encouraged to make links between concepts and to ingrain a curious and inquisitive approach within each and every lesson.

We do not believe that there is a single, ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to teaching science. Instead, we carefully tailor our lessons from a blend of high – quality sources and pedagogical approaches, delivering a bespoke curriculum to meet the needs of our pupils. This ensures that we personalise our teaching and learning to obtain the best outcomes for our pupils and their diverse range of learning styles. Our ambition is to not only progress our pupils through the curriculum, but to also instill a love and enthusiasm towards the subject that extends far beyond their primary school years.
