3/ Schools taking part see:
🧪 Empowered leaders who drive whole-school improvement in science.
🧪 Engaged pupils who develop curiosity, enquiry skills, knowledge and science capital.
🧪 Recognised impact that makes a real difference.

2/ The Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) is transforming the way schools approach science. More than an accreditation, #PSQM is a year-long journey of professional development that equips subject leaders with the skills, confidence, and strategies to make science thrive.

I'm so happy to have now met all of the schools in my Primary Science Quality Mark hubs for this Round.

From a local hub of schools across Hertfordshire, to an online hub across England and Wales, I'm so excited to see what incredible development happens in these schools over the year.

When today’s commute involves a 45 minute walk through fields, past rivers, woods, yarrow, dead nettle, ragworts, silk cushion spangle oak galls, acorns, carrots, haystacks and some excellent clouds, it’s a good day 🥰

Fantastic hands-on learning last week with engaging, purposeful science workshops: exploring the Digestive System in #Year4 and the Heart in #Year6

It was fantastic to be back at @rigb.org at the weekend, presenting all about states of matter, using liquid nitrogen, inflating balloons, overcoming the inevitable when experiments don't work (real science!!) and sharing science fun with a great audience! Thanks for having me!

Dr Jo looks scared as a balloon pops - surrounded by liquid nitrogen, bubbling gas, balloons - presenting in the awesome faraday lecture theatre at The Royal Institution.
