School Science (CLEAPSS)

Objectives of the Service:

CLEAPSS provides support and advice to teachers, technicians, Head Teachers and governors on how best to use high quality practical work to support pupils learning in science, design & technology and, most recently, art & design.

CLEAPSS resources give teachers ideas for exciting and engaging practical activities that fire pupils' imaginations and then, unlike many other sources of ideas, go on to show teachers and technicians in detail how to translate the ideas into safe and exciting experiences in the classroom.

CLEAPSS advice and documentation is recognised by the Health and Safety Executive and the Department for Education

These Services will give you access to:

• CLEAPSS resources give teachers ideas for exciting and engaging practical activities that fire pupils' imaginations and then, unlike many other sources of ideas, go on to show teachers and technicians in detail how to translate the ideas into safe and exciting experiences in the classroom.
• CLEAPSS advice and guidance also supports schools in securing positive judgments around the safeguarding aspect of school inspections, which as you know is a limiting factor in the current OFSTED framework.
• CLEAPSS advice and documentation recognised by the Health and Safety Executive and the Department for Education.
• Model risk assessments for activities.

Access to this service for ESN schools and academies is administered by Schools Health and Safety team.
