At Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, we believe that the teaching of science should inspire curiosity and a thirst for knowledge about the world around us, the famous scientists who have inspired generations and the diverse groups of people that interact with one another. Understanding science helps pupils to know their place in, and how to impact upon, the world.
This enables us to live, love and learn by investigating the world and people around us.
Science is a sacred subject:
Science enables pupils to know the universal story they are a part of:
Below are some examples of how our teaching of Science contributes to our whole school pupil characteristics:
Pupil Characteristic | Key Word | Science contributes to this by providing opportunities to…… |
The leaders of tomorrow | LEAD | Lead one another in presentations related to scientific issues and communicating with those in power in their local area and the nation |
Advocates | STAND | Promote scientific issues for those in their local area or the wider world that disproportionately affect different groups of people and stand up for those who cannot themselves |
Powerful orators | SPEAK | Be bold in speaking about climate, environment and the scientific issues they are passionate about |
Gospel activists | ACT | Making changes to benefit their local, scientific community and inspiring others to do the same |
Inquisitive learners | ASK | Generate their own scientific questions and work hard to investigate and find out the answers |
Creative problem solvers | THINK | Identify problems and create a range of solutions, discussing and testing ideas before sharing with a wider audience |
Inclusive team builders | SHARE | Develop a cultural understanding for people groups around the world through a process of discovery and comparison. Work with others when focussing on science related global issues |
