Science Curriculum

Curriculum Intent

​

At Reintegreat, our aim is to ensure that every student is equipped to understand, question, and critically evaluate scientific problems in an ever-changing modern world. We want learners to see the relevance of science in their own lives and in wider society, and to be inspired by the opportunities it offers.

​

Through the National Curriculum Programme of Study, we provide a wide range of stimulating experiences, both inside and outside the classroom. Our science curriculum is designed to:

​

  • Build curiosity and encourage questioning

  • Deepen knowledge across biology, chemistry, and physics

  • Develop scientific enquiry, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills

  • Equip students to apply science in real-world contexts
     

Science is not only a subject—it is a foundation for understanding key issues in the world around us. From health and medicine to the environment, technology, and global affairs, scientific knowledge empowers our students to make informed decisions and to aspire to a wide range of careers.

​

  • Develop analytical, descriptive, mathematical, and evaluative skills

  • Discuss and debate current affairs in nature, the environment, health, and technology

  • Understand how science impacts their lives, communities, and the future of the planet
     

Our challenging curriculum is designed to evoke curiosity, questioning, and enthusiasm, encouraging students to explore the depth and breadth of scientific study.
