Mission Sentence At Brinkworth Earl Danby's School we believe that "Science is about exploration, discovery and pushing boundaries. It's about asking questions and seeking answers," (Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock). Our science curriculum helps children to be curious about our world and to understand how and why things happen.
Inspiring Quotes
  • The important thing is to never stop questioning. (Albert Einstein)
  • An understanding of the natural world and what's in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfilment. (Sir David Attenborough)
  •  I have not failed, I have successfully discovered 10,000 things that won’t work. (Thomas Edison)
  • Science is fun. Science is curiosity. Science is a process of investigating. It's posing questions and coming up with a method. It's delving in. (Sally Ride)
