Curriculum Philosophy & Values

Science Curricular Vision

 

We believe all students should be…

Critical, curious and inclusive…”

 

Curriculum Philosophy

‘’At Harris Academy Greenwich, we believe that all students, no matter who they are or where they come from, have a fundamental right to master powerful knowledge that will enable them to adapt to an ever-changing world. We will deliver a curriculum that ensures students harbour a lifelong curiosity for natural phenomena, and the science that underpins them. Every student should have the knowledge and skills to approach facts, opinions and information critically in the 21st Century. We want all our pupils to make well informed decisions so they can lead happy and successful lives that positively impact the world around them.”

 

Curriculum Values

Learning science gives us a deeper appreciation of the universe. Not only how we exist in that universe, but how the very fabric of that universe exists in us. We want to embed a lifelong child-like curiosity in all of our students, so as they can not only see and appreciate natural phenomena for their beauty, but also appreciate them for the incredible science that underpins them. A true understanding of scientific thinking is an appreciation for simplicity, and the core principles that govern the natural world.

In an ever changing world, young people are surrounded by information, without the prerequisite skills to critically judge what can be trusted. Science holds the keys to unlocking people’s ability to look critically at news, social media and opinions for the truth behind them. Science teaches us to look for sources of information, data to support claims and question the validity of evidence which are essential skills for young people to become part of a well-informed electorate, that can make good decisions and make a positive change in our society.

Science is the pursuit of all humanity. No matter what your gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation, science unites us in a pursuit of knowledge and greater understanding. It is the ongoing pursuit of powerful scientific knowledge that will unlock the world’s biggest secrets, solve the problems of humanity and create a more equal and fairer society, and we believe every child has a right to that knowledge.
