Primary Science Survey Report

This report presents the findings of an online survey during July 2011 for The Wellcome Trust. The survey asked primary school teachers for their views on the status of primary science, the opportunities available to their students and themselves as professionals, and how these things may have changed since the removal of SATs in 2009 in England. The survey was intended to explore anecdotal evidence from teachers suggesting that science was no longer seen as a priority in their schools and establish whether more systematic data collection would be advisable.
