Science Mark
Science Mark is a quality standard designed to recognise and celebrate inspiring practice in secondary and FE science departments across the UK.
Working with our dedicated team of assessors, we will support you through the process to achieve your Science Mark. There are three levels - silver, gold and platinum.
What are the benefits of taking part?
- help raise the profile of science across your school or college
- demonstrate your department's commitment to quality standards in science education
- celebrate engaging, stimulating and inspiring lessons for students
- receive a plaque, certificates, digital banners and at least a day and a half of support from an external expert
Science Mark accreditation lasts for three years.
Applications for Science Mark are currently closed and will reopen in early 2019.
