  Mon 09 Jun 2025

  Michelle Davies from Penarlag C.P. School in Ewloe awarded Primary Science

  Teaching Award for exceptional primary science teaching

   

  “Each of our PSTA winners has achieved fantastic things in primary science – inspiring children  in their own schools as well as supporting science in their wider communities.”

  -Martin Pollard, Primary Science Teaching Trust Chief Executive Officer

   

  We are delighted to announce that Michelle Davies from Penarlag C.P. School in Ewloe has

  been awarded a Primary Science Teacher Award for her innovative practice and exceptional

  dedication to primary science teaching.

   

  The Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT) works towards a vision of seeing excellent teaching of science in every primary classroom throughout the UK. We know that many children decide before they are eleven whether science is for them, so high-quality engaging science at primary school is vital. While not everyone will follow a career in science or related disciplines when they leave the school system, being scientifically literate is important for all children and their daily lives. Making individual decisions, e.g. about their own health and well-being through to understanding global issues such as climate change are dependent on a good science education.

   

  Teachers that are doing incredible work, raising standards, excelling in tough conditions and

  going above and beyond what is usually expected, deserve to be celebrated. The Primary

  Science Teacher Awards (PSTAs) do just that - celebrate, reward and provide continued support for these deserving teachers.

   

  The Awards are supported by organisations from across the science education sector: SSERC,The Ogden Trust, Institute of Physics, Royal Society of Chemistry, Royal Society of Biology, Association for Science Education (ASE) and STEM Learning.

   

  Winners of a PSTA in 2025, receive £500 personal prize money, a selection of PSTT science

  resources (sponsored by TTS Group) for the school, access to PSTT events and CPD, and a

  year’s ASE membership.

   

  Michelle will be inducted into the ‘Primary Science Teacher College’ as a College Fellow where  she will have access to many benefits including receiving funding and support from the Primary Science Teaching Trust to continue and expand her remarkable work in primary science education.
