At St Mary Immaculate Catholic Primary School, we are committed to providing a dynamic and enriching science education that ignites curiosity, fosters inquiry, and cultivates a deep understanding of the natural world within the framework of our Catholic values. Our aim is to inspire a lifelong love of science in our students and equip them with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to thrive in an ever-changing society and to have a greater appreciation of God’s creation, guiding our students to fulfil their responsibility as stewards of the Earth. This is all underpinned by the pillars of our curriculum: live wisely, think deeply, love generously.

Our science curriculum is designed to engage students in hands-on exploration, experimentation, and discovery. Through inquiry-based learning experiences, students develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a solid foundation in scientific principles, alongside reflections on the ethical implications of scientific advancements. We believe in creating a supportive and collaborative learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions, make observations, and draw connections between scientific concepts and their everyday lives.

Central to our science education is the promotion of scientific literacy and environmental stewardship. We empower students to become informed citizens who can critically evaluate scientific information, make evidence-based decisions, and contribute positively to their communities and the world around them. Through experiential learning opportunities and real-world applications of science, we aim to foster a sense of responsibility for the environment and inspire students to become advocates for sustainability and conservation.

As a primary school, we recognise the importance of laying a strong foundation in science during the formative years of a child's education. Our dedicated staff are committed to creating meaningful learning experiences that spark curiosity, inspire wonder, and nurture a lifelong passion for scientific exploration. By nurturing the intellectual curiosity and moral conscience of our students, we aim to empower them to become ethical leaders who use their scientific knowledge and skills to promote the common good and to build a more just and sustainable world. They will be  empowered to reach their full potential and become confident, competent, and compassionate individuals who are prepared to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
