Primary Science Quality Mark--2016 Update
Turner, Jane
Primary Science, n143 p20-21 May 2016
Back in May 2011, an article in "Primary Science" described how the idea for a quality mark for primary science was developed from an initial conversation at an Association for Science Education annual conference (Turner, Marshall and Elsmore, 2011). Its intention then, as now, was to support and champion good practice and raise the profile of primary science, and so the pilot began. Five years later, the Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) is a respected and well-known award programme, a recognised acronym in science education and an acknowledged mechanism for driving improvement in the quality and profile of primary science (Ofsted, 2013).
