Primary Science Enhancement Programme
Student and teacher resources, in school events, CPD, age range 5-11
The Primary Science Enhancement Programme (PSEP) aims to create enthusiasm for learning science amongst primary school children by providing CPD. This is achieved via a day's training, and is offered through certain regional science learning centres, local authorities and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) -related organisations. Teachers are introduced to a series of practical science investigations set in industrial contexts, and available via a wide range of teaching resources. The day includes first-hand experience of a curricular-relevant industrial visit, tailored to follow the classroom science investigations. The teachers have the opportunity to participate in a PSEP visit, resulting from personnel being trained by the advisory teacher in communicating effectively with primary children, curriculum relevance and suitability for 9-11 year olds. The website houses training materials for use by teachers starting out with science-industry links, creativity and assessment for learning strategies, as well as many interactive areas for children's use in the classroom.
