Science
The focus of the science curriculum at Ripley aims to ensure that all pupils:
• develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding of science through the specific disciplines of biology, physics and chemistry
• develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of scientific enquiry
• are well equipped with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and in the future.
All our science topics come from the National Curriculum and are taught separately, but teachers have the flexibility to link this teaching to their other topics where appropriate.
