Science in the National Curriculum
About the conference
The Department of Education has recently launched a complete
review of the National Curriculum in England. A call for
evidence was launched on 20 January and closes on 14 April
2011.
The SCORE event, held on 21 March, provided a timely opportunity
for participants to discuss evidence relating to science in the
National Curriculum. The event did not seek to reach a
consensus, but enabled participants to share key issues from
their own organisation's response and/or to contribute their views
to others submitting responses.
A summary report of the conference will be made available
early April.
Pre-reading material
SCORE commissioned a series of thought pieces on science in
the National Curriculum. These pieces were
specifically written to help structure and inform each of the
discussion sessions at the conference.
