The important thing is to never stop questioning.

Albert Einstein

At St John’s CE (A) Primary School, the teaching of Science plays an important role in our appreciation of God’s world and the development of all children into healthy global citizens.

We believe it is important that children are encouraged to question and explore the world around them, being inspired by what they see and experience. Through curiosity, questioning and scientific study (within the disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics), children at St John’s develop a sense of wonder which becomes the motivation for them to expand their understanding of the world and how things work.

They will be enabled to build their knowledge, vocabulary and methodologies, recognising the wide-ranging uses of science. Alongside this, they will be acquiring skills which allow them to flourish in other areas of the curriculum or future roles within the wider community.   

“Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God’s wonders. Do you know how God

controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? Do you know how the

clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?”

Job 37 (14-16)
