Equity Without Compromise: Leading Rigorous and Inclusive Science Education

Описание: Despite being a core subject, science remains one of the least accessible for many students. Learners with additional needs, those new to English, and pupils from diverse or disadvantaged backgrounds often face systemic challenges that limit engagement and achievement.

In this practical and thought-provoking webinar, Jessica Wood, Head of Subject for Science Mastery Secondary at Ark Curriculum Plus, explores the everyday barriers that contribute to this gap. From limited curriculum time to the pressure to prioritise coverage over deep understanding, a number of factors continue to affect pupil outcomes.

Drawing on her work across Ark’s network of schools, where science outcomes are consistently strong for disadvantaged pupils, Jess shares evidence-informed strategies that can be adapted and applied in a range of settings.

Watch to explore high-impact approaches to:
• Support teachers in developing deep, secure understanding of core concepts
• Use formative assessment to identify and close knowledge gaps
• Strengthen (equity of) implementation through an improved curriculum model

Whether you are a middle leader, senior leader or responsible for curriculum development at school or trust level, this session will offer practical tools to help all learners succeed in science.
