Science is led by Miss Hutcheon and Miss Finnessey.
At Bovingdon Primary Academy, we want children to be inquisitive and curious about the world around them. We aim to teach in a practical and visual way, allowing children to explore scientific concepts and ask questions. Practical lessons have included: creating a practical version of the digestive system, making fossils, creating circuits, watching floating and sinking objects and lots more!
| Belonging Respect individuality and embracing diversity within our curriculum. | Possibilities Providing limitless opportunities and developing curious minds. | Achievement Encouraging personal success and preparing children for future life. |
Science Aims

Each year, we hold a STEM week where focus on science, DT, Maths and Computing. This is always an exciting week to celebrate and enjoy Science. This year, we held an interschool competition across the trust to create an invention! Well done to the Bovingdon winner Noah.
