Intent
At Huttoft, we understand that science teaches children how to make sense of the world around them. Through their growing understanding of, children learn to appreciate the contribution made by many cultures to the development and application of science. At Huttoft we have adopted the Cornerstones Curriculum 22 for science which ensures that our curriculum is fully sequenced and connected. Our projects ensure that children build and sequence their knowledge as they go through school.
