ExplorePrimary Science Teaching Training
Science should spark curiosity in every child, but it’s often squeezed out or taught without confidence, especially in primary schools. This training helps your staff teach science in a way that builds knowledge, develops working scientifically, and keeps pupils curious about the world around them.
Below, we explain what our primary science training involves, and how it helps you strengthen science across your school.
What Is Primary Science Teaching Training?
It’s practical training that helps primary staff teach science with confidence. We cover subject knowledge, working scientifically, practical enquiry, sequencing the science curriculum, and how to build the vocabulary and concepts that underpin secondary science.
We focus on making science engaging and rigorous, and tailor it to your curriculum and the confidence level of your staff.
Who Is This Training For?
It’s designed for all primary education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, and primary phases of all-through settings. It suits whole-school INSET, science leads, and class teachers. Trusts often run it across schools to raise science standards.
Many schools ask for it to build teacher confidence in science, strengthen the science curriculum, or improve working scientifically.
