It is our intent that children will have a secure and broad knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological scientific world around them. This will be achieved through exploration, observation, critical thinking and working scientifically. Through allowing equal scientific opportunities for all, children will develop a passion for exploring, unpicking and unlocking the world of science. Children will plan and carry out their own investigations, experiments and fieldwork, solving challenging problems and reporting scientific findings. 

At St Mary's Bluecoat Primary School we follow Science Bug. Science Bug is a comprehensive and coherent science programme for today’s curious kids. Science Bug is designed to build the knowledge and skills needed to spark imagination, fuel curiosity, and nurture confident young scientists.
