The Wellcome Trust ( @wellcometrust ) has published a report about the state of primary science in the UK. The report makes a series of key recommendations for reviving primary science – including that all primary schools should have access to science leaders with expertise in primary science.
Free national programme for state schools- Inspiring the Future – can help schools connect with local working scientists: http://www.inspiringthefuture.org/
