The science curriculum is designed so that the fundamental knowledge and skills are introduced early and then revisited regularly throughout the pupils' time here, strengthening their retrieval of key knowledge and extending it as they move through the school by using increasingly detailed models and theories of the concepts involved. Topics are sequenced so that they logically link together and build upon each other, term-by-term and year-by-year.
