Summary

Do you have a broad and balanced primary curriculum? Does science have a high profile in your school or does it get squeezed out in favour of mathematics and English? This two day course will explore the expectations outlined in the 2019 Ofsted framework and what this means for science teaching in your school. Primary science leaders will discuss key strategies to ensure that the intent, implementation and impact of their science curriculum is evident throughout school. This course will help explore the needs of pupils and develop a curriculum approach that will address these needs. Now is the time to reinvent your curriculum and be bold, be ambitious and give children the learning opportunities they deserve!
