--- title: "Science" url: "https://lmpsdorset.org/learning/science" school: "Lytchett Matravers" --- # Science ## Science At Lytchett Matravers Primary school, we provide our children with a comprehensive and progressive Science curriculum. This not only gives them the knowledge they need to understand the world around them but also opportunities to find the joy in learning experiences. Children are enabled to develop their own lines of questioning and find answers to these questions through investigations and experimentation. In order to provide children with key opportunities to ‘Yearn to learn’, the focus of learning is through practical Science lessons. Our approach aims to build an awareness of how science influences everyday life and drives progress in society. We encourage pupils to become reflective, responsible individuals who use scientific knowledge and skills to make informed decisions and contribute positively to the world around them. The curriculum is designed to be both accessible and ambitious, ensuring all learners’ full participation and ability to achieve. Teachers assess scientific knowledge and how the children work scientifically during lessons through observation of children, interaction and their written work. **[Science programmes of study: key stages 1 and 2](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/425618/PRIMARY_national_curriculum_-_Science.pdf)** KS2 Science Curriculum 164 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/lytchett-matravers/files/documents/KS2_Science_Curriculum.pdf) LMPS EYFS - KS1 Science Curriculum 40 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/lytchett-matravers/files/documents/LMPS_EYFS_-_KS1_Science_Curriculum.pdf) LMPS Science Progression Map 390 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/lytchett-matravers/files/documents/LMPS_Science_Progression_Map.pdf) ![Lytchett Matravers](https://files.schudio.com/lytchett-matravers/images/logo/logo-white(1).png) ### Lytchett Matravers Lytchett Matravers Primary School and Preschool Wareham Road Lytchett Matravers Poole Dorset BH16 6DY School Contact: Mrs Batten & Mrs Blake School Telephone: 01202 622378 (Option 2) School Email : office@lmpsdorset.co.uk Preschool Contact: Mrs Day Preschool Telephone: 01202 622378 (Option 3) Wraparound Care Telephone: (07769) 264332 Preschool Email: preschooloffice@lmpsdorset.co.uk ### Useful Links - [Contact Us](https://lmpsdorset.org/contact) - [CEOP](https://www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre/) - [Reporting Absence](https://lmpsdorset.org/parents/reporting-absence) - [Ofsted Report](https://lmpsdorset.org/about-us/ofsted-report) - [Our Governors](https://lmpsdorset.org/about-us/meet-the-governors) ### Translation © Copyright 2025–2026 Lytchett Matravers School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://lmpsdorset.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
