A response to the Ofsted Finding the Optimum report: implications for practice in primary science.
Association for Science Education, University of Manchester.
Abstract
Finding the optimum: the Ofsted science subject report was published online in February 2023, drawing together observations and recommendations from recent inspection visits to schools. Whilst the latest report does have separate primary and secondary sections, there are some areas that merit further guidance for primary science practice. This guidance builds on the Ofsted Research Review response (Turner, Bianchi, and Earle, 2022) and has been brought together by Primary Science Quality Mark, The University of Manchester’s SEERIH and the Association for Science Education. Professional dialogue and consultation with members of these organisations gave the opportunity to reflect on the Report through a primary science ‘lens’. From this five implications for practice emerged and each are considered in terms of: • What this means for primary science • How this could happen in practice • Prompts for next steps and further discussions in school.
