Science

In science we will foster children’s innate sense of curiosity to learn about the world around them.

In our lessons we will cover the topics materials, plants, humans, animals and habitats.

These are visited twice a year, to allow for coverage, progression and to ensure misconceptions and gaps in learning can be addressed. Working scientifically is woven within our weekly science lessons.

Our children will be curious, observative, and reflective.

PQSM

This academic year (2024-2025) Hartford Infant and Preschool are working towards a Primary Science Quality Mark. This is a professional development and school improvement programme that equips science subject leaders with the knowledge, confidence and expert support they need to continue to improve the quality and profile of science in their school. Subject leaders who successful complete the programme receive recognition for their school through the accreditation of a highly regarded Primary Science Quality Mark. 

Our first step has been to create our HIPS vision and principles of practice for science. See below:
