Primary Science Quality Mark

Primary Science Quality Mark

We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM).

As a school, we first received the mark in 2019 and last year worked towards earning the reaccreditation.

PSQMs are awarded to schools to celebrate their excellent science leadership, teaching and learning. It is a comprehensive evidence-based professional development programme that effectively develops science leadership, ensuring teachers have the knowledge, capability and support they need to transform science education and shape future generations.

The Primary Science Quality Mark is led by the University of Hertfordshire.

Helen Sizer, PSQM Co-Director said: “By enabling effective science leadership, PSQM is powering the potential of all children to see the relevance and importance of science in their lives, now and in the future.  Schools that have achieved a Primary Science Quality Mark have demonstrated a significant commitment to science leadership, teaching and learning and the profile and quality of science in each accredited school is very high. Science subject leaders, their colleagues, headteachers, children, parents and governors should be very proud.”
