Intent

At Thorpe Primary Academy, we want to spark imagination, fuel curiosity and nurture confident young scientists. We believe that investigational and experiential science is central to developing young scientists and therefore we focus primarily on working scientifically skills. Our curriculum is designed to progressively develop knowledge and skills which empower children to ask and explore increasingly more complex questions, encouraging our children to recognise the importance of science in the world around them. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that we nurture children who are engaged, motivated and curious learners who are interested and invested in the world around them. We want children to leave us in Year 6 knowing that regardless of gender, culture and background they can access and thrive in a range of scientific careers.
