Science
Science at Langdon Park equips students with the tools needed to understand the world around them, explaining how things work and interact. Our curriculum empowers students with the knowledge of phenomena, enabling them to hypothesise and conduct experiments to prove scientific truths, predict outcomes and analyse causes.
Langdon Park’s KS3 curriculum secures a foundational knowledge base of fundamental concepts with concrete examples to make science real and relevant for our students. As our students progress to KS4 they revisit concepts and deepen their understanding of these concepts and appreciate the transferability of knowledge between the 3 disciplines as well as the importance of the scientific process in the progression of scientific thought.
