STEM Curriculum Statement

Intent

STEM is taught using a cross-curricular approach, with the aim to inspire and engage children.  Children are provided with the foundations required to understand the world around them and the impact advances in science has upon technology. Through building up a body of foundational knowledge, pupils are encouraged to develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. We teach children to partake in different types of scientific enquiries and to pose and answer scientific questions about the world around them. We demonstrate how knowledge can be applied in real life engineering situations to pose a solution to a problem. Children are then able to use their knowledge, gained through scientific research, to conduct their own design and technology projects in a practical environment.  Opportunities for group and partner work are crucial to allow children to develop their communication skills, share ideas and collaborate effectively.
