The “Science and Innovation Next Steps” document, published in March, sets out the Government’s strategy to promote science in schools.
Measures include: piloting 250 Key Stage 3 science and engineering after school clubs; increasing numbers of pupils reaching level 6 and above at Key Stage 3; increasing access to the three separate sciences at GCSE; expanding the Science and Engineering Ambassadors Scheme; and encouraging schools to participate in international student assessments.
