Our philosophy is that each child at Millbrook Community Primary School will become a competent scientific thinker and investigator, who will encounter awe and wonder through first-hand scientific investigative experiences and approaches. An emphasis on providing the children with a high-quality Science Curriculum will offer the foundations for understanding the world around them through the specific disciplines of Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Curriculum design at Millbrook promotes development of knowledge, enquiry methods and working scientifically based skills. Continuity and Progressions is achieved through careful planning of knowlsdge, vocabulary and skills. It is our purpose to enable children to develop the intellectual and practical skills which will allow them to explore and investigate the world of science and develop a fuller understanding of scientific phenomena.
The whole school environment will reflect the importance of science. All staff will champion science and our primary aim is to make sure that every child has a positive experience throughout their education at Millbrook.

Science Ambassadors
Selecting Science Ambassadors in school is an important process as it identifies children who have a strong passion for science and a desire to inspire their peers. At Millbrook, we are delighted to introduce our own Science Ambassadors. These children have an enthusiasm for science, serve as role models and guides, leading whole school challenges, organising science activities and encouraging curiosity about the natural world. The children will encourage a love for science, foster collaboration across the school and help promote a vibrant, inquisitive environment for everyone. Our Science Ambassadors are selected annually.
Kirkby Ogden Trust Champion Scientist
Our Half-Termly Science Award recognises and celebrates the achievement and enthusiasm in science from one child in each year group throughout the academic term. The award will be based on various criteria, such as creativity in projects, consistent participation in science activities or demonstrating an inquisitive mindset. By offering this recognition, our school promotes a culture within science of curiosity, persistence and innovation, helping children feel proud of their scientific accomplishments while also motivating others to excel.
