Developing strategic minds, explorative thinking and inquisitive hearts. 

Curriculum intentions and Aims 

As a Science team at Lyng Hall school we are committed to delivering high quality, lively, interesting, thought provoking and above all scientifically rich curriculum. Scientists of Lyng Hall break down the ‘why?’ behind what we see, hear and explore in the world around them. Science helps us to answer our biggest questions and to meet our most basic needs. We want to support students in doing this by providing them with opportunities to make connections, experiment, research and test both old and new theories.  

The 3 main goals are: 

1. For our students to use and interpret science to explain the world around them 

2. Four our students to evaluate and understand scientific theories and evidence 

3. For our students to Investigate and generate scientific explanations  

Science should be practical, hands on and develop enquiring minds in our students. We provide opportunities outside of the classroom for students to develop their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) skills. Students can be part of the Science club and STEM club after school each week, attend trips and visits and be part of challenges and tasks set by incoming visitors form the Scientific field. If you love Science, engineering or technology, we will have an opportunity for you both inside and outside of Science lessons. 

Why do students at Lyng Hall need to study Science? 

Studying Science at Lyng Hall allows students to gain enthusiasm for the process of scientific discovery and understand how the world around us works. 

Students get the opportunity to build connections between the world they see and how it works. Science provides a large range of transferable skills such as communication, practical skills, data analysis and scientific literacy skills. To achieve this, we consider the depth and breadth of theoretical and experimental science.
