Ladbrooke JMI School

"Primary science ignites pupils' curiosity and offers opportunities to develop their observation, questioning and reasoning skills whilst increasing their appreciation, knowledge and understanding of the world around them and stimulating a lifelong interest in science."

Society of Biology

"The important thing is to never stop questioning." Albert Einstein

"Science is a way of thinking, much more than it is a body of knowledge." Carl Segan

At Ladbrooke JMI, we provide children with a high quality science education that draws on their natural interests and curiosity in the world around them.

The science curriculum is a balance of scientific knowledge and investigative skills and children are encouraged to work scientifically and follow their own line of enquiry.

"Science is the best. It is challenging because you are not being told the information you need but you are witnessing it for yourself."
