Science Curriculum Intent

Science teaching at Blessed Trinity RC College aims to give all pupils a strong understanding of the world around them whilst acquiring specific skills and knowledge.  We endeavour to inspire scientifically literate, confident and curious problem solvers for the future.

Science is delivered in three distinct disciplines:

Biology

The science of living organisms and their interactions with each other and the environment. 

Chemistry

The science of composition, structure, properties and reactions of matter understood in terms of atoms, atomic particles and how they link together.

Physics

The science of the fundamental concepts of field, force, radiation and particle structures, which are interlinked to form unified models of behaviour of the material universe.
