PSEA Experience Submission

Share your journey with the Primary Science Enhancement Award

Thank you for taking part in the Primary Science Enhancement Award. We would like to hear about your experience and reflections on the programme.

Your reflection video will help us understand how the scheme supports trainee teachers and may inspire others to take part. We plan to share teacher reflections on our website and social media. Depending on the number of submissions we may create a compilation featuring short clips from different teachers or we may share some videos individually.

To recognise your time taken to submit a video reflection, we will offer a £10 One4all gift card to all those who submit useable content – please make sure you read the guidelines before you submit!


Please make sure your video is no longer than 2-3 minutes and answers the following:

  • Short introduction:
    • Who are you? What are you currently doing – i.e. finished teaching degree, currently teaching in school (include position if you are, but not school name!), where in the UK are you based?
  • What was the best thing about completing the Primary Science Enhancement Award?
  • What did you learn?
  • How did it help you in your career (if applicable)?
    • Did it help you get your role in school?
  • What would you say to others who are thinking about doing the PSEA?

 

Deadline for video submissions – Sunday 23rd of August 2026
