Science lessons are a gateway to discovery, where children's natural curiosity about the world around them is nurtured and encouraged. Through an engaging mix of discussion, demonstration, and hands-on practical activities - both in the classroom and our exceptional outdoor learning spaces - pupils are encouraged to explore, question, and think critically.

Dedicated teaching staff inspire a lasting sense of wonder and a thirst for knowledge, guiding children through a broad and challenging curriculum. From the earliest years, pupils develop the skills to work and think like scientists, progressing through carefully structured steps that build their ability to plan, investigate, evaluate, and refine their own scientific enquiries.

This journey fosters independence, confidence, teamwork, and respect for the environment, equipping our young scientists with the skills and mindset they need. By the time they leave Year 6, they are well-prepared to embrace the challenges of secondary school and continue their scientific adventure with curiosity and enthusiasm.

At The Croft School, our Technology curriculum empowers pupils to become confident, creative, and responsible digital citizens. We inspire curiosity and problem-solving through coding, digital literacy, and computational thinking, ensuring all learners develop the skills needed for an ever-evolving digital world. By fostering teamwork, resilience, and creative thinking, we prepare our pupils not just to use technology, but to understand and shape it. Our mission is to equip every child with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the digital age safely, ethically, and innovatively.

Our engineering curriculum ignites curiosity through hands-on, practical experiences. We equip pupils with essential skills in design, construction, and innovation, encouraging creativity, teamwork, and resilience. By engaging in practical challenges, pupils develop an understanding of engineering principles, inspiring them to see themselves as future innovators and problem-solvers. Our mission is to nurture confident, inquisitive learners who apply their knowledge to shape and improve the world around them.

At The Croft, the Mathematics department is dedicated to fostering a deep understanding and love of maths in every child. Our curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, develop problem-solving skills, and nurture logical thinking, ensuring every child, regardless of their ability, is challenged and supported to reach their full potential. Through engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and links to the real world, we make maths meaningful and relevant, showing its importance in science, technology, finance, and everyday decision-making. We maintain high expectations of all children, promoting excellence through the White Rose Scheme of Learning as our starting point. This helps us to build strong foundations and encourages resilience and creativity. Enrichment opportunities, such as maths challenges, demonstrating mastery of concepts and real-life applications, further ignite a passion for learning and provide valuable experiences beyond the classroom. By creating a safe and stimulating environment, we aim to empower all of our children to embrace mathematics with confidence and help them to develop a positive growth mindset and, therefore, an ‘I can do it’ attitude.
