Primary Science Teaching Trust

Who we are

The Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT) believes it is vital that children are engaged and inspired by science from an early age. We want to draw on their natural curiosity to help them explore, understand and ask questions about the world around them. Scientific skills and knowledge are essential for every child, whether or not they become a scientist, engineer or medic.

Our vision is to see excellent teaching of science in every primary classroom in the UK. We’ve built a Primary Science Teacher College of over 200 outstanding teachers, each helping to shape and influence science teaching across the UK. We work with local clusters of schools in 28 areas, and our Regional Mentors have supported more than 3,000 additional schools. We also work closely with teachers to produce great resources that improve how science is taught and planned.
