The Primary Science Teaching Trust’s (PSTT’s) vision is to see excellent teaching of science in every primary classroom in the UK. Science plays a hugely important role in all our lives: it builds our knowledge and helps us solve global problems. PSTT believes it is vital that children are engaged and inspired by science from an early age. We want to draw on their natural curiosity to help them explore, understand and ask questions about the world around them. Scientific skills and knowledge are essential for every child, whether or not they become a scientist, engineer or medic.
Our board of trustees has ultimate responsibility for the PSTT’s strategy, activities and assets. We currently have nine trustees and we are looking to recruit between three and five trustees, ideally with a mixture of those who are in full-time work, and those who are more time-rich.
To have a background in one of digital content in education, fundraising, leadership or marketing would be very helpful, but what is most important is that you can contribute your time, knowledge and ideas to help us achieve our goals.
The Board meets four times a year, usually in London or Bristol, with the option to join remotely. These meetings are held during the working day. There are also opportunities for trustees to sit on standing-committees, working groups and project boards, all of which do not necessarily meet during the working day. Trustees are unpaid, but we cover expenses, including travel and childcare costs.
