Science

Achieving the best possible academic standards.

Our Whole School overview selects objectives from the Hamilton Trust scheme of work. There is a clear progression of working scientifically from Year 1 to Year 6. Children use scientific equipment to make observations and predictions, to ask and answer questions, to carry out comparative tests and to analyse data.  T

Science and Outdoor Learning at Oldfield

All children have opportunities to engage in practical science activities both inside and outdoors. We have an Eco Room, extensive grounds, a nature trail, a field, a variety of trees and plant life and access to ‘Brambles’ area for the pond and scouting activities.  It is our intent that children learn to love and appreciate this natural environment and develop a sense of stewardship and responsibility towards the Earth.

Children explore the grounds of the school from nursery onwards and in Key Stage 1 make trips to our local nature reserve at Perivale Wood, with its tailor-made science workshops in ancient woodland.
