What others are saying
Teachers are very accurate at assessing pupils’ progress. Marking is of a very high standard.
The school has comprehensive systems for checking pupils’ progress and very accurately identifies those that may need extra support. These systems have been very effective in raising pupils’ attainment and accelerating their progress.
I’ve enjoyed being a science ambassador because I like the beekeeper trip in Brockwell park. I also like making honey comb and making electricity.
I like mixing hot sugar and bicarbonate of soda to make honey comb.
I have most enjoyed being at the meetings and learning what the other years have learnt. I have been in a few changes such as cooking more, more equipment and more experiments. These changes have made science more fun and more inclusive for those that dislike it. Even those that originally liked it might like it more. To make science better, I would recommend more science-based trips such as the natural history museum or the London science museum etc. etc. and more science lessons than just one a week. Despite SATs, we have still been able to do quite a lot of science however in the future I wish to do more as it’s an extraordinarily important to learn. My last ask is to have more key vocabulary and facts on the fact sheet at the start of the lesson
Teachers have high expectations. All pupils are set challenging targets in both English and Mathematics.
I like showing the school how fun science is and how important it is and that science is everywhere.
What I enjoy about science club is that I learnt a lot more about science as well as it being fun.
The best thing about being a science ambassador is the responsibility. The impact that I’ve had on the school is that I’m able to teach RPS more about science via whole-school experiments.
We help the school by showing them that science is fun and is everywhere. We get to make food and learn how they do the things they do. We went to a fun educational trip about bees and plants.
