PSTT has developed the Primary Science Enhancement Award (PSEA) scheme for Initial Teacher Education (ITE) for student teachers wanting to increase their experience and understanding of teaching and learning in primary science. The scheme supports the student to undertake additional activity and development in primary science during their ITE phase. It draws on rationales, processes and resources developed by the Primary Science Teaching Trust, the Primary Science Quality Mark, and by Stranmillis College, Belfast.

Following two pilot years, PSTT is intending to roll out the scheme, making it available to any UK ITE provider interested in taking part. PSTT is seeking a contractor to deliver the scheme for the academic year 2022/23. The appointed contractor would work on a consultancy basis. Please download the ‘Invitation to tender for PSTT Primary Science Enhancement scheme for ITE’ document for further information and details of how to apply. Applications must be received by Friday 22^nd July 2022.
