Nuffield Secondary Science: General Guidance

Nuffield Secondary Science carried out the ‘bold experimentation’ necessary to devise a new curriculum for the majority of students in secondary schools that the Newsom Report, Half Our Future had called for in 1963.

The principles underpinning the new approach were set out in a general teachers’ guide. The programme suggested a wide variety of new practical activities and so the project published an apparatus guide to help teachers and technicians. A further guide gave advice on examining courses based on the resources in the Certificate of Secondary Education (CSE).
