Curriculum & Teaching Review
A strong curriculum is the heart of a good school. It decides what children learn, in what order, and how well it…
ExploreScience Curriculum & Provision Review
Strong science teaching builds knowledge of the world and opens doors to STEM. But science is often under-supported, especially in primary schools, and teacher confidence varies. We review your science curriculum and provision independently, so you know whether pupils are building secure scientific knowledge and skills.
Below, we explain what a science review involves, and how it helps you strengthen science across your school.
What Is Science Curriculum & Provision Review?
It’s an independent review of your science curriculum, teaching, and provision. We look at how well science is sequenced, how working scientifically is developed, the quality and confidence of teaching, and how well the provision serves every pupil.
We ground it in what strong science provision looks like and triangulate curriculum, teaching, and work, so you get an honest picture of science across the school.
Who Is It For?
It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. Headteachers, science leaders, and senior leaders use it to strengthen science.
Many schools ask for it to raise science standards, build teacher confidence, or prepare for a science deep dive.
