Summer 21-22 Primary Science Coordinators Networks – Starting 9 June 2022
Keyword search: Science Coordinators Summer
These network groups provide a forum for science coordinators to work collaboratively on improving the teaching and leadership of science.
Over recent years we have worked together to develop a science curriculum that builds powerful knowledge whilst engaging children in challenging scientific problem solving, central to this has been encouraging and drawing upon children’s curiosity. The product of this work has been the Hampshire Learning Journeys which are used to good effect by many schools and available to all schools who participate in these networks.
All network meetings combine sharing of ideas and techniques, practice with peers and opportunities to test what is shared in school. All the training materials are designed to be easily adapted for use back in schools.

Keyword Search: Planning Studies
Getting out and about in the school grounds can be an excellent way to foster children’s curiosity about the world around them. Observing over time is a key aspect of ‘working scientifically’ which allows the children to practise and develop a wide range of disciplinary skills.
In KS1, such enquiries are an effective way of inspiring children to ask questions about the world around them and develop their sense of curiosity. And in KS2, observations from these kinds of enquiries often enable children to make predictions about how things might be, leading on to planning of further comparative tests and fair tests to find out more.
The past few years have not gone without their challenges. There is no better time than now to make sure the science curriculum for our children is the very best it can be. This training will support Science Leaders in identifying and sequencing learning through long-term studies to further help children make excellent progress in science.

This is an exciting and demanding time for Heads of Science. The past two years have left teachers and children in our schools facing additional challenges. This is why it is vital we get our curriculum and teaching right so that we can overcome this learning deficit and make sure all children make excellent progress in science.
With a new team at HIAS science, we are ready to support you in responding to these issues and developing the teaching of science across Hampshire.
Some of the areas we are looking to address within this network are:
Moving towards research informed practice in your department- Clarifying and sharing powerful knowledge for clear learning intentions
- Diagnosis of Year 11 and how to prepare for Summer 2022 exams
- Planning and teaching so children remember knowledge.
- Formative assessment and the difference between assessing performance vs learning.
- Ensuring practical work at all levels has a clearly defined knowledge-based purpose
The Subject Leader Network provides a forum where such strategic questions are explored, and solutions developed and shared.
