- Summary:
- In 2007 Monteney Primary School gained specialist science status, an achievement that has seen the teaching and understanding of the subject flourish and enabled the school to be involved in many science projects. One successful idea is enlisting parents to help in science lessons. As well as allowing the children to show off their learning, it enables the parents to feel part of school life and gain a greater appreciation of their child's abilities. The school also introduced Wow Workshops, which focus on various scientific enquiries and the skills needed to conduct them. The school places a strong emphasis on cross-curriculum science links to literacy, music, art, drama, numeracy and D&T, meaning science lessons often involve diverse activities such as writing science songs, making rockets, role-playing and baking. As a result, the staff at Monteney can see a real difference in their children's enthusiasm for science.
