At Mead Vale Primary School, our vision is to give children a science curriculum which enables them to explore and discover the world around them, confidently, so that they have a deeper understanding of the world we live in. We realise that young children have a naturally curiosity and are passionate about learning; we provide a science curriculum that nurtures children’s natural curiosity and their on-going intellectual development.

Year 1 curriculum

Please note we are currently reviewing and revising the year 1 curriculum. As Andrew Percival states 'curriculum work is a living, breathing process and as a school we continue to recognise new research about how children learn.   New guidance from the DFE entitled 'Strong foundations in the first years of school' as well as other research conducted have resulted in a project working with our MAT to ensure that we continue give our children the best chance of educational success.
