The Primary Science Quality Mark programme (PSQM) provides a framework that enables science subject leaders to develop and strengthen their leadership practice, whilst increasing the profile and quality of science within their school. The process supports subject leaders to plan for improvement in science teaching and learning across the school and evaluate the impact of action taken.

PSQM enables schools to evaluate and improve all aspects of science teaching and learning, raising the profile of science and inspiring staff to make connections between science and other subjects. PSQM facilitates links with outside organisations to further enhance science within school, improves children’s science capital and the final accreditation evidences and celebrate the schools’ commitment to a broad and balanced curriculum.

Due to the high level of interest received from overseas schools, PSQM is now able to offer international school hubs that will have a dedicated PSQM hub leader, an expert in primary science, who will lead you through the PSQM training and accreditation process from start to finish.
