Service Description

High-quality science education in primary schools is essential for nurturing curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning. It helps children develop a foundational understanding of the world around them, encouraging them to ask questions, explore ideas, and solve problems. By engaging with hands-on experiments and real-world applications, pupils build key skills in observation, reasoning, and communication. A strong science curriculum also supports cross-curricular learning, linking with maths, literacy, and technology, and prepares children to become informed citizens in an increasingly scientific and technological society. For 2025-2026 we are pleased to continue offering a blend of online and face-to-face opportunities for Science Leaders. Facilitated by April Taylor, RoSIS Associate Leader and teacher at Waverley Junior Academy, the sessions are scheduled as follows: Autumn: Science Conference - Ignite Curiosity. Inspire Young Minds.
