"I have found the primary science package to be an extremely helpful tool for assessment. As a class teacher it has enabled me to make secure and accurate judgements of my pupils’ abilities, both in terms of scientific knowledge and their scientific skills. The assessment tasks are especially useful and ensure that all of the working scientifically criteria have been assessed rigorously in the course of a school year. As a subject leader, these resources ensure that there is a continuity of assessment across the school, which is important when evaluating standards."
