Space Education Quality Mark

The Space Education Quality Mark (SEQM) is designed to support schools and colleges using the subject of space to inspire and engage their students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.

The SEQM is an award given to schools that have used the context of space to enhance learning across their setting, providing opportunities for exciting and engaging learning by bringing the curriculum to life with interesting links to the real world of space science. 

The mark is free and getting involved is easy, all you need to do is sign-up using our short online form and an information pack will be emailed to you.

What support will I receive?

Schools and colleges taking part in the mark will receive a box of resources, information about enrichment opportunities, and the opportunity to take part in webinars and face-to-face and online CPD. There will also be the opportunities to engage with space competitions and challenges.

The SEQM is self-assessed. After applying you will be sent an information pack that includes an action plan template and a self-assessment grid which looks at using space as a context, both inside and outside of the classroom. We will support you to complete this plan throughout your SEQM journey. Once submitted your evidence will be sent to a SEQM assessor for review. If successful your SEQM award will be valid for 3 years.
