For a high-quality science education, it is essential to give pupils plenty of hands-on science experiences (see C3). To do this your school needs to have adequate resources (R1) and environments (R3) to work scientifically and carry out fieldwork projects, as well as a reasonable amount of the school’s budget allocated (R2) to provide them.

• R1. What resources are available for teachers to use for science and maths teaching? Are the resources adequate to teach a broad curriculum?
• R2. How is the school budget allocated to ensure staff have access to the resources required to teach a broad curriculum?
• R3. Do pupils have access to outdoor environments and how are they used for teaching science and maths?
