School Vision for Science and School Scientific Principles

The William Ford Vision for Science

Our Vision

Our vision for Science at William Ford is to inspire all our pupils to explore their curiosity of the world around them, to empower them to make deep links between their practical experiences in the classroom and their experiences outside of it, and to be confident life-long learners and scientists.

Our Principles

We spoke to many different members of our community, including pupils, teachers and governors, and we have agreed the following principles for our school's teaching of Science. We have designed our school's teaching around these principles and they are the key values that enable us to deliver a science curriculum that achieves our vision for Science. Our principles are:

I am a scientist.

I use science to make sense of the world around me.

I am curious and I ask big questions.

I can find out answers myself, using investigations.

I LOVE sharing science with my friends and family.
