At Church Broughton CofE Primary School, we follow the Kapow Primary Science curriculum to deliver exciting, hands-on science lessons that spark curiosity and deepen understanding of the world around us.

What is Kapow Primary Science?

Kapow Primary Science is a comprehensive, engaging curriculum designed to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum for Science. It supports children in developing scientific knowledge, skills, and a love for discovery through practical investigations and real-world contexts.

Key Features of the Curriculum

• Hands-On Learning: Children explore science through experiments, observations, and investigations, helping them to think and work like scientists.
• Knowledge-Rich: Each unit builds on prior learning and introduces key scientific concepts in a clear and structured way.
• Skills Development: Pupils learn to ask questions, make predictions, record results, and draw conclusions—developing essential enquiry and reasoning skills.
• Inclusive and Accessible: Lessons are designed to be inclusive, ensuring all children can access and enjoy science learning.

What Your Child Will Learn

The curriculum is organised into key areas:

• Biology – learning about plants, animals, humans, and habitats.
• Chemistry – exploring materials, their properties, and changes.
• Physics – investigating forces, light, sound, electricity, and space.

Each year group revisits and builds on these areas, helping children to deepen their understanding over time.

How You Can Support at Home
