Our aim is to inspire children to think independently about the world around them. Stimulating children's intellectual curiosity, coupled with a growing knowledge of scientific principles and technical language, informs all that we do.
We encourage our children to develop informed opinions and to be able to support those opinions by logical argument. We recognize the important ways in which Science affects the lives of people everywhere in the world and how it can be used to help make decisions, solve problems and carry out jobs every day.
Science is a subject with something for everybody. We are passionate about our subject’s role both within school and wider society. We see Science as an enabler for critical thinking and the broader development of our students’ intellectual development across the board.
The aim of the Science department at Donhead is to stimulate the intellect, curiosity, interest and enjoyment of pupils, so enabling them to become familiar with a body of scientific knowledge, principles and vocabulary. We encourage the children to develop informed opinions and to be able to support those opinions by logical argument. We recognise the important ways in which science affects the lives of people everywhere in the world and how it can be used to help make decisions, solve problems and carry out jobs which are done by ordinary people every day.
