Science
At Co-op Academy Beckfield we believe that all children will develop and be inspired by their scientific understanding of the world around them. Our children will learn through challenging, hands-on and experiential learning opportunities, so that they have good scientific knowledge for their future.
Our Science Principles are:
- We use a range of skills and work scientifically.
- We are curious and ask questions.
- We investigate.
- We think about the world around us.
