Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. ― Marie Curie

At Lionwood, our collective aim is to refine and develop children’s scientific knowledge and understanding of the world around them, starting their preparation for life in an increasingly scientific and technological society. Science is a means of discovering and understanding the world around us. Through high quality teaching and learning experiences, we aim to develop every child’s key scientific knowledge, vocabulary and understanding of a range of scientific concepts, methods, processes and skills.  Pupils are encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena.
