Our children will be encouraged to ask questions, take risks, experiment, reflect, make and learn from mistakes, in a safe environment; whereby they acquire and apply core skills, which equip them for an ever-changing world. ### How was our science curriculum developed? Our curriculum for science is based on the national curriculum. You can read about the science national curriculum [here](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-curriculum-in-england-science-programmes-of-study/national-curriculum-in-england-science-programmes-of-study). As part of our work to achieve Primary Science Quality Mark and developing the curriculum with Stem Learning Solutions Ltd we linked our curriculum to four conceptual models to support pupils develop a deeper understanding of science. We were very proud to achieve Primary Science Quality Mark in 2022. ![](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/images/imgi_4_c00ebfaa-4214-45aa-a42e-8e02b435a51e_1x1.jpg) ### Curriculum Overview Curriculum Overview for Science 87 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/files/documents/curriculum-overview-for-science.pdf) ### Long Term Planning Progression Plan - Science - Cycle A 344 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/files/documents/long-term-plan-science-cycle-a.pdf) Progression Plan - Science - Cycle B 291 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/files/documents/long-term-curriculum-planning-science-cycle-b.pdf) ### Curriculum - [Our Curriculum](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/our-curriculum) - [Phonics and Early Reading](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/phonics-and-early-reading) - [Early Years Foundation Stage](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/early-years-foundation-stage) - [English](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/english) - [Mathematics](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/mathematics) - [Science](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/science) - [History](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/history) - [Geography](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/geography) - [Physical Education](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/physical-education) - [Art & Design](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/art-design) - [Design & Technology](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/design-technology) - [Computing](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/computing) - [Music](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/music) - [French](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/french) - [Personal, Social and Health Education (PHSE)](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/personal-social-health-education-phse) - [Religious Education](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/religious-education) - [Enhancing our Curriculum](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/enhancing-our-curriculum) ![Holme Community School](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/images/logo/imgi_1_logo.png) ### Holme Community School North Road Holme Carnforth LA6 1QA 01524 781205 ### Useful Links - [Admissions](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/admissions) - [Policies](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/policies) - [Term Dates](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/parents/term-dates) - [Contact Us](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/HolmeSchool/) ### Translation © Copyright 2025–2026 Holme Community School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
