Science

At Lantern Lane Primary School, we are committed to providing a high-quality science education that helps children develop a deep understanding of the world around them. Through engaging and meaningful learning experiences, pupils build their knowledge of scientific concepts while developing curiosity, critical thinking and a sense of wonder about the natural world.

Our science curriculum enables children to explore, question and investigate. They learn key scientific knowledge and vocabulary alongside the skills needed to work scientifically, including observing, predicting, testing, measuring, recording and evaluating. Through practical enquiry and discussion, children learn how evidence can be used to answer questions and explain what they observe.
