Primary Science Conference - Wolverhampton RC124 / C08

Our primary conferences always provide outstanding learning opportunities linked to topical developments in primary science teaching alongside time to talk and share ideas with other primary practitioners.

The keynote speaker is Eleanor Belfield, HMI and Ofsted Science Subject Lead. The focus of the keynote will be on the findings of the Ofsted Science report, “Finding the optimum”, giving you an opportunity to consider the implications for teaching and learning in your school.
