“The Science Lead has started the journey to make this school a primary science specialist school and I wish them every success in this venture. As such the SLT have been very supportive of the work needing to be done and the whole school is working well together towards this. The gaps identified in the review are works in progress and the evidence that could be tightened up on is something to keep in mind for the future and any other submissions. It is clearly a school where science is at the front and centre of teaching and learning. Thank you for all your hard work, especially under the conditions of the last 2 years.”

“There was never a more important time for primary children to have a high-quality science education. The Coronavirus Pandemic has made everyone aware of the impact of science on our daily lives. Primary schools have an important role to ensure that children understand how science works and keeps us healthy and safe. Schools that have achieved a Primary Science Quality Mark have demonstrated a significant commitment to science teaching and learning, even at this challenging time for schools. The profile and quality of science in each awarded school is very high. Children are engaging with great science both in and outside the classroom, developing positive attitudes towards science as well as secure scientific understanding and skills. Science subject leaders, their colleagues, head teachers, children, parents and governors should be very proud.”
