Ofsted praise PSQM in latest report into science education - "The process of gaining the award brings benefits beyond the certificate"

School leaders who recognised the likelihood of a declining profile for science were able to mitigate the risk by, for example, seeking accreditation through the primary science quality mark (PSQM)
The process of gaining the award brings benefits beyond the certificate because it requires school leaders to evaluate their provision and justify their science curriculum as being fit for promoting good learning.
It also connects school science leaders to other primary school leaders who have successfully raised the subject’s profile in their schools.
