Science at William Stockton Primary School
At William Stockton, we believe that getting better at Science means engaging children in hands-on, practical investigations that bring learning to life. We ensure that science lessons are full of opportunities for exploration and discovery, helping our pupils to develop a deep understanding of key concepts and vocabulary. These memorable, stimulating experiences help all children build, secure, and extend their scientific knowledge. Our Science Principles (above) underpin all of our learning in science.

I have proudly led Science at William Stockton for the past four years. My enthusiasm for the subject has only grown during this time, particularly through my involvement in the Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) programme. This experience, alongside working with other science leaders and professionals, has allowed us to reflect on and improve the quality of science teaching across the school. We were thrilled to be awarded the PSQM Gilt award – a testament to the hard work of our staff and pupils – and we remain committed to further progress.
Although our Science curriculum was developed a few years ago, we continuously review and refine it to ensure it stays current, effective, and exciting. It is carefully planned and sequenced, with clearly defined end points that outline the essential knowledge and scientific skills our children need to succeed.Teacher and children plan investigations that cover a range of enquiry types.
Our Enquiry Types
Our approach to Science not only builds scientific understanding but also equips children with transferable skills to help them make sense of the world around them. We deliver a broad and inclusive curriculum, ensuring all pupils are both supported and challenged. Our lessons are adapted to meet the diverse needs of our learners so that every child can thrive.

We are proud to announce that we have received the Gilt Primary Science Quality Mark.
