At St Sebastian's, we recognise the importance of science and our desire to enthuse and inspire children to develop a lifelong love of science is reflected in our curriculum and learning environments.

We believe that a high-quality science education provides the foundations for understanding the world and that through building up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts, children should be encouraged to recognise the power of logical explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. We also promote the development of persistence, problem solving and team work through planned scientific investigations.

Science Statement of Intent

‘Science is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is a process of investigating. It's posing questions and coming up with a method. It's delving in.’
