Hatfield Woodhouse Primary School re-accredited their PSQM Quality mark in 2022.

What is PSQM?

Primary Science Quality Mark is a one-year school improvement programme for primary science, which provides professional development for around 600 new and experienced subject leaders each year. PSQM enables confident, knowledgeable, reflective leadership which results in an improvement in the way in which science is strategically planned and taught across the whole school.

In 2015, Voice 21 set out on a mission to empower all children and young people to use their voice for success in school and in life. Voice 21 knew that spoken language skills were one of the strongest predictors of a child’s future life chances yet too many children were not being given the opportunities to explicitly and purposefully develop these crucial skills, opportunities consistently afforded to an advantaged few.

Building on the pioneering practice of School 21, Voice 21 had an ambitious goal to grow from a programme within a single school into a national movement of schools and teachers committed to providing a high-quality oracy education to all.

Hatfiled Woodhouse Primary are proud to be part of this national movement.

This ground-breaking programme equips and empowers young activists with the tools to create positive, lasting environmental change and teaches pupils that they should never underestimate the power of their voice.

Plastic Free Schools teaches pupils how to run their own campaign in the fight against single-use plastic; from challenging government and industry to creating tangible change in their schools and forming sustainable habits that will continue into adulthood.

However, this doesn’t only have to be about single-use plastics, the programme equips pupils with the relevant skills to be able to run future campaigns on any issue they feel is important and to understand the strength they have in driving change.

Our HWPS family are paving the way…
