Science

Our vision is to give children, at Abbey Farm ET a Science overview which enables them to explore and discover the world around them confidently and gain a deeper understanding of the world we live in.

We teach Science practically and interactively whenever possible. We want children to pose questions and answer them as well as setting up their own investigations and recording data. They will acquire and apply core skills which equip them for an ever-changing world.

We teach children about the work of scientists and their contribution to the modern world and encourage them to view themselves as potential scientists and understand the wide range of work they could do. We are careful to ensure this includes contributions of women and black scientists, to challenge stereotypes and preconceptions.

AFET uses a scheme called Developing Experts to ensure skills, knowledge and most importantly, curiosity about the world, is reached within our children.
