Our St. Cuthbert's Science Intent, Implementation and Impact Statements
Below is a document containing our statement of the '3 Is' for Science at St. Cuthbert's. These statements state how our Science curriculum will look, how we will implement it and what impact we aspire to see from the teaching and learning of Science at our school.
The progression of Science at St. Cuthbert's EYFS to Year 6
Below you will find a document which outlines the curriculum for each year group. This document shows the progression of knowledge, vocabulary and skills from EYFS to Year 6.

Each week the children will complete an investigation and receive a stamp in their passport. Once they have 8 stamps they will receive a cloth badge and a certificate.
Week 1
We introduced ourselves and designed our own lab coats. We talked about how we behave in the laboratory and how important it is to read protocols correctly to follow the procedure.
