Science

At Phoenix Academy, the science curriculum aims to inspire curiosity, deepen knowledge, and foster an understanding of the world through the lens of scientific inquiry. We strive to develop scientifically literate students who can apply their knowledge critically and solve real-world problems.

The science curriculum at Phoenix Academy follows a progression model that aligns with the National Curriculum, ensuring a structured learning journey from the Early Years through to Year 6. The curriculum integrates core scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and physics, to build a strong foundation in key concepts such as ecosystems, energy, and matter. By promoting hands-on, investigative approaches, students develop their ability to conduct experiments, make predictions, and draw conclusions.

Our teaching approach encourages a balance of theoretical learning and practical application. Each unit is designed to build on previous learning, ensuring that knowledge and skills are developed progressively. Cross-curricular opportunities are provided, particularly in areas like geography and PSHE, to help students see the relevance of science in everyday life and understand issues such as sustainability and the environment.

We are committed to ensuring that the science curriculum is inclusive and engaging for all learners. By offering practical, experiential learning opportunities, we aim to spark a passion for science that transcends the classroom. At Phoenix Academy, we see science as not just a subject but a critical tool for understanding and shaping the future.
