Science

Our vision for Science at St Vincent’s is to spark curiosity, inspire exploration, and empower every learner to make sense of the world around them. Using the White Rose Science curriculum, we provide a clear and sequenced journey through scientific ideas, carefully adapted to meet the needs of pupils with visual impairments. Learning is brought to life through hands-on, multi-sensory experiences that use tactile models, real-life investigations, auditory descriptions, braille, large print, and assistive technology, ensuring that every child can engage fully and meaningfully with scientific concepts.

​

Science benefits our pupils holistically by developing not only knowledge and understanding but also key life skills such as independence, problem-solving, and resilience. Through investigation and exploration, pupils build confidence in asking questions, working collaboratively, and applying their learning to everyday experiences. Practical science supports communication, critical thinking, and sensory development, while also nurturing a sense of wonder and belonging in the wider world.

​

Our aim is for pupils to see themselves as scientists—curious, capable, and confident in their ability to explore, question, and understand the world, both now and in their future lives.
