The Science Leadership Benchmarks are a powerful tool designed to help secondary school science departments evaluate and enhance their provision. Whether you’re a head of science, a senior leader, or a classroom teacher with responsibility for science, this framework offers a clear roadmap to achieving excellence in science education.
Developed to support self-evaluation and strategic planning, the Science Leadership Benchmarks cover key areas such as curriculum design, practical work, assessment, leadership, and professional development. By using the benchmarks, educators can identify strengths, address gaps, and set meaningful goals for improvement. The framework is particularly useful for schools aiming to raise standards, improve student outcomes, and ensure consistency across science teaching.
To complement the benchmarks, we offer a range of CPD courses that align directly with the framework’s priorities. These include:
- Practical Work in Challenging Settings – Explore strategies for delivering engaging and effective practical science lessons, even in schools with limited resources or complex student needs.
- Health and Safety for Science Departments – Ensure your team is confident and compliant with best practice in managing science labs and equipment safely.
These courses are designed to support science leaders in embedding high-quality practice across their departments, while also meeting statutory requirements and promoting a culture of continuous improvement.
Request your copy of the Science Leadership Benchmarks today and take the first step towards transforming your science provision. You’ll also gain access to supporting materials, case studies, and guidance to help you implement the framework effectively.
