For a high quality science education, it is essential to give students plenty of hands-on practical experience. To do this, your school needs to have adequate facilities to carry out those practical investigations (F2) and sufficient budget allocated (F1) to provide the equipment and technician support (F3).

• F1. Is a reasonable amount of the school budget spent on science and maths equipment and facilities?
• F2. Does your school have enough specialist science laboratories so that every timetabled science lesson can take place in one?
• F3. Does your school employ an adequate number of full time equivalent laboratory technicians?

Please fill in our short online questionnaire in order to let us know your thoughts. The questionnaire is made up of four questions and will take no longer than five minutes.
