Secondary

A set of challenging questions on science and maths education for secondary school governors to discuss with senior leaders, including evidence, benchmarks and ideas for improvement. Some example questions:

• How many science and maths teachers have qualifications relevant to the subjects they teach?
• What is the trend over time for results?
• Are triple science GCSEs (i.e., separate physics, chemistry and biology GCSEs) available for all students? What proportion of students take them?
• Is a reasonable amount of the school budget spent on science and maths equipment and facilities?
