Cambo First School in Morpeth has been awarded a Primary Science Quality Mark.

The award, given to over 300 schools this month, recognises commitment to excellence in science leadership, teaching, and learning.

Since 2010, more than 5,000 Primary Science Quality Marks (PSQM) have been awarded, benefiting over 1,000,000 children.

The PSQM is a professional development programme that enhances science leadership in schools.

It is led by the University of Hertfordshire.

"Schools that have achieved a Primary Science Quality Mark have demonstrated a significant commitment to science leadership, teaching and learning, and the profile and quality of science in each accredited school is very high.

"Science subject leaders, their colleagues, headteachers, children, parents, and governors should be very proud."

The award highlights the dedication of Cambo First School to providing quality science education and shaping future generations.
