Staff and children at High Beeches Primary School in Harpenden have been awarded the Primary Science Quality Mark.
The award recognises excellence in science leadership, teaching and learning and follows a programme of development work undertaken by the teaching team, supported by Teaching and Learning Advisers from HFL Education and the University of Hertfordshire.
Emily Pike and Stephanie Russon, the school’s science subject leaders, led the process with input from HFL Education and the University of Hertfordshire.
Ms Russon said: "We are excited to have been awarded the Primary Science Quality Mark which celebrates our commitment to science and recognises that we have developed and deliver a rich science curriculum to enthuse our children and shape a future generation of scientists."
