Intent

At Pear Tree Primary School, our Science Intent is to foster curiosity through an ambitious, sequenced curriculum. Starting with clear foundations in Reception, we ensure pupils build detailed, connected knowledge by consistently linking new concepts to prior learning.

Pupils work as scientists—observing, pattern-seeking, classifying, and researching—while using precise vocabulary to explain phenomena. Our inclusive approach ensures all children, including those with SEND, access the same curriculum through scaffolded support and the pre-teaching of key concepts.

By integrating science with Geography, Maths, and English, and providing rich extra-curricular experiences, we enhance our pupils' cultural capital. These opportunities develop well-rounded citizens equipped with the knowledge and skills to succeed in their next stage of education and beyond.
