Niton Primary School is celebrating after being awarded the Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) after successfully evidencing the strength of its science curriculum.
The PSQM is a national award scheme, presented to schools where effective science leadership is beginning to have an impact on science teaching and learning. The award recognises commitment to excellence in science leadership, teaching, and learning.
Feedback from the review included:
- It is clear that children are at the centre of everything being done to improve the teaching and learning of science at Niton Primary School.
- The subject leader has invested much time in ensuring that the children at Niton Primary School are engaging in wider opportunities. Initiatives such as ‘Borrow the moon’ have really captured the children’s imaginations.
Duncan Mills, Executive Headteacher, has said:
“We are very proud of this achievement. It is a reflection of all of the hard work put in by staff and leaders into the science curriculum. Children at Niton really enjoy science and we hope this love continues throughout their educational journey.”
