'If that star is no longer there, then how can I still see it?'

Science at The Paragon responds to children's natural curiosity about why, for example, a balloon will stick to the wall if you rub it hard. We introduce children to the excitement of scientific investigation, using our grounds to study insects, plants and habitats. We follow the Ginn New Star Science scheme, a highly creative and colourful topic-based scheme with assessments at the end of each topic.

Pupils also attend Science Days such as the annual 'Bath Taps into Science' event. Last year our Year 6 pupils had their own stall focusing on electricity and were able to explain how their exhibit worked to many visitors including local MP Don Foster.
