Science

Vision

Our vision at Mulberry Canon Barnett is to give children a Science Curriculum which enables them to explore and discover scientific phenomena in the world around them confidently and independently. In order to achieve this, we offer our children engaging, practical and purposeful experiences that encourage curiosity with opportunities to ask and answer questions, take risks, experiment, reflect, and learn from their mistakes.

We believe stimulating and challenging experiences secure and extend scientific knowledge and vocabulary and provide children with the skills which not only equip them for an ever-changing world but help them become lifelong enquirers.
