Subject Leadership

The Subject Leader

I’m Faiza Desai, and I’m the Science Subject Leader at Frenchwood Community Primary School. Science is a subject that sparks curiosity, encourages exploration, and helps children make sense of the world around them—and I’m enthusiastic about making it exciting and accessible for all.

At Frenchwood, our science curriculum is designed to be firsthand, enquiry-based, and inclusive, allowing pupils to develop key skills in observation, investigation, and critical thinking. Every child is a natural scientist, and it’s our job to nurture that sense of wonder and discovery.

My aim is to ensure that science reflects the diversity of our school community, celebrates different perspectives, and connects learning to real-life experiences. Whether it’s exploring habitats, experimenting with materials, or learning about space, I want our pupils to feel inspired and empowered by what they learn.

I look forward to collaborating with staff, pupils, and families to build a science curriculum that is engaging, meaningful, and full of opportunities to explore, question, and grow.
