Co-op Academy Hillside provides an ambitious Science curriculum, compliant with the National Curriculum.

Our lessons are taught with a real emphasis on acquiring key science subject knowledge, understanding and skills designed to ensure that pupils build on their prior learning. The National Curriculum is a progression model, and teachers plan teaching based on what has come before and what comes next.

The highest emphasis will be placed on the acquisition of the key skills of reading, writing and oral communication with a focus on Science specific vocabulary, which will be evidenced through pupils’ work, what they hear, read and say during classroom teaching, learning, questioning & discussion.
