    Primary Science Safety Audit 2024

    by Emma Cooper -

    Good morning

    Please find the link for this year's annual safety audit: Primary Science Safety Audit 2024 Thank you for your patience with receiving it this year.

    We have also created a document with the required questions listed and some guidance on how to complete them. Please https://science.hias.hants.gov.uk/pluginfile.php/5497/mod_forum/post/3791/Primary%20Safety%20Audit%20Guidance%202024.pdf

    Please note that the completion of the online form is compulsory for maintained schools. A small number of randomly selected schools will receive a monitoring visit in the Autumn term and failure to submit could result in a formal Health & Safety monitoring visit.

    This is not compulsory for non-maintained schools but filling it in and returning will help build a bigger picture of the issues surrounding safe and effective practical work in Science across Hampshire, and we would appreciate your support with this.

    The responses are automatically collated and sent back to HIAS once you have submitted the form. Your responses will also be emailed to you on completion. You should print and save a copy of your responses. A copy should be kept by the science coordinator/leader and another copy lodged with the school’s Health & Safety Officer.

    You should check CLEAPSS regularly for updates: http://science.cleapss.org.uk 

    Any questions please email emma.cooper3@hants.gov.uk 

    DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION: FRIDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER 2024

    Join us for the Newly Appointed Primary Science Co-ordinator Training 24-25 – 31 January 2025

    by Hannah Richardson -

    Taking on the leadership of science can appear a daunting task for many new science co-ordinators, especially at a time when its place in the curriculum is under greater scrutiny.  

    This one-day training session will help new co-ordinators gain a clear understanding of what science teaching and learning should be like and identify what they need to do to further develop the subject in their own school. 

    Part of the cost of the training includes a half day visit from either Kevin Neil, County Inspector for Science, or Emma Cooper, General Inspector/Adviser for Science, to support your school’s specific challenges/developments.
