Science
A high-quality science education provides the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Science has changed our lives and is vital to the world’s future prosperity, and all pupils should be taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science. Through building up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts, pupils should be encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. They should be encouraged to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes.
Science at The Batt
Exploration: While exploring science, children will build a foundation of science skills while fostering their natural curiosity about their world.
Co-operation: Children at the Batt School will work collaboratively as they investicate a range of scientific concepts
Communication: Science communicators at The Batt are able to inform, educate, raise awareness of science related topics and increase the sense of wonder about scientific discoveries and debates.
Innovation: Children will be curiosity-driven and generate their own ideas and understanding of current theories and inventions.

Primary Science Quality Mark
We are extremely proud to be awarded the Primary Science Quality Mark. This award is in recognition of the continued quality of science provision and for the progress we have made as a school to develop science even further.
The external moderator commented:
“Senior Leaders and staff CPD have allowed science capital to continue to develop across the school. It is pleasing to see that STEM parents links have continued and ‘STEM’ is such a vibrant and high-profile part of the school promoting science careers and challenging the stereotypes of a scientist. Science in the news, new STEM texts, a STEM Club, and a focus on ‘real life’ within lessons are clearly evidenced.”
