Science teaching out of this world

SCHOOL GETS SPACE-BASED ACCREDITATION

- By HERALD REPORTER

A PLYMOUTH school is over the moon after being awarded a quality mark for its teaching of science - and in particular topics around space.

Hele's School in Plympton has been awarded the Silver Space Education Quality Mark.

The Space Education Quality Mark, which was created by the UK Space Education and Resource Office (USERO) is given to schools across the country who can demonstrate they have significantly used the context of space when teaching, worked with other organisations, shared resources and used space to enrich the curriculum.
