MONTALBO Primary School has been awarded the prestigious silver Space Education Quality Mark, in recognition of its excellent work.
UK schools and colleges receive the Space Education Quality Mark when they can show that they have significantly used the context of space in subjects, have worked with other organisations, shared resources and used space to enrich the curriculum.
The Space Education Quality Mark was created by ESERO-UK, which supports the space sector and teachers to open doors for young people from all backgrounds, by delivering inspiring world-class teaching in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
Alex Brown, European space education resource office at STEM Learning, said:”We are delighted to congratulate Montalbo School on receiving the silver Space Education Quality Mark. Each school and college who receives the Space Education Mark has demonstrated a real and ongoing commitment to excellent STEM education in their school.
“Montalbo is a great example of this.”
Teacher Dr Felicity Greenwell explained that Montalbo School has integrated space themed learning across the whole curriculum, for every child in the school, throughout the year.
“This has inspired future careers in STEM subjects, and a love of scientific discovery,” she said.
