We’ve just invested in the CREST Star Investigators series of awards for our lunchtime Science Club. Although they are aimed at primary pupils, they are perfect for our pupils and fulfill the desire of SMT to accredit everything from breathing upwards 😉
We currently run OCR Science Plus for our most able pupils, but the nature of the school is changing as our local MLD swings away from taking on pupils with behaviour issues and I’m not sure that my newest Year 10’s actually have what it takes to gain enough marks for a Bronze award. I am seriously considering basing their curriculum on the ‘MegaStar’ and ‘Young Ambassadors’ packs instead, and getting them some accreditation that way.
