Subject leaders' network meeting RA219 / C21

This is a chance for collaboration with your peers so you can share information and develop as a leader. Expert consultants will help you identify priority issues in teaching and learning and professional development for your teams. You will be able to develop solutions, drawing on the expertise within the group. This strengthening of informal school-to-school support will create an effective network of information, advice and guidance.

We are delighted to announce that Sarah Old from Ofqual will be joining our summer Head of Science network meeting to take your questions and feedback on the changes to the science qualifications.  We expect the discussion to cover topics such as comparable outcomes in the first year of a new qualification, tiering, how the new Combined Science grading scale works and the new ways of assessing mathematical and practical skills.  There will be an opportunity to submit questions in advance.

In addition we plan to look at how schools are structuring the science curriculum; whether that is a five year journey; an extended key stage four or a transition Year 9.

We hope that you will be able to join us and share your experiences.
