Science

Intent

Our aim at Mundy Junior School is to ensure that all children experience a high-quality Science Curriculum which, as well as encouraging “awe and wonder”, it promotes the children to enquire into the world around them through Scientific knowledge and investigations within our Creative Curriculum.

Children will be provided with many opportunities to pose questions, investigate methodically and increase their understanding of the sciences.
