Creating the scientists of tomorrow

A year-long improvement programme, the PSQM focuses on effectively developing subject leadership and ensuring teachers have the skills and confidence to teach innovative and imaginative science lessons that spark pupil interest and ignite a life-long passion for the subject.

Thanks to Miss Gaskin and Mrs Minness, Broom Leys were one of only 198 schools to be awarded the PSQM in May, 2024.

Throughout the year, through staff questionnaires and monitoring lessons, they evaluated the quality of science teaching and learning; they even conducted interviews with pupils who explained what they enjoy about the subject.

“We love learning about science outside of school when visitors come in,” a Year 6 child remarked, whilst a Year 5 pupil added, “I have really enjoyed science this year, especially where we link our experiments to the real world.”

A child in Year 3 then concluded: “I love taking science outside! We can all get involved and have a go.”

A huge shout out to Broom Leys staff and pupils.
