Quality Mark

Northern Lights is able to support both primary and secondary colleagues, prepare for both the Primary and Secondary quality marks.

Primary Science Mark

Primary Science Quality Mark is not like other quality marks, instead it is a CPD programme that helps schools to achieve a quality mark, whether science within the school has been a low profile for a while or your school want to improve the provision further. The programme provides a framework that enables science subject leaders to develop and strengthen their leadership practice, whilst increasing the profile and quality of science within their school. The process supports subject leaders to plan for improvement in science teaching and learning across the school and evaluate the impact of action taken. http://www.psqm.org.uk/psqm
