Developing an outstanding primary science curriculum NY044 / A20

With an increased focus from OfSted on curriculum design, primary schools are taking time out to rethink their approach to primary science. What does good science look like? How is it best taught and assessed?

This course will help you to focus on the important aspects of primary science and how to get the most from your school curriculum. You will look at how to ensure progression in both subject knowledge and working scientifically skills across the school and also how to engage your children in developing their science capital.

You will have time to explore, experiment with and share new ideas as well as action plan the best way forward for you and your school.

This course will be delivered remotely on the days and times detailed below.
