Abstract

The Primary Science Quality Mark, based at the University of Hertfordshire is seeking a discretionary grant of £149,775.00 from Wellcome to enable it to increase its ability over the next two years to improve leadership in primary science in UK schools most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. This will address gaps in provision and increase children's access to exciting, inspiring and relevant science education that leaves them well-prepared to progress further in science, and well-informed about science in their everyday lives.
