Science at HPFSP

At HPFSP pupils discover and understand the world through the Primary National Science Curriculum.  In Science lessons, pupils are encouraged to ask questions and explore their curiosity collaboratively with their peers.  Using their theoretical knowledge of a topic, pupils lead practical investigations to answer the questions they’ve posed and confidently deliver their findings in oral and written reports.  The pupils are resilient and excited by challenge and unexpected findings. 

In addition to weekly science lessons, pupils have the opportunity to attend Science Club and Science-related school trips.
