PUPILS at three East Renfrewshire schools used the appliance of science to secure a prestigious award.
Mearns Primary, Calderwood Lodge Primary and Kirkhill Primary have all achieved the Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM).
At a recent ceremony, Calderwood Lodge Primary and Kirkhill Primary were presented with the PSQM award, which celebrates excellence in science teaching, while Mearns Primary was honoured with the Outreach award after demonstrating how science leadership is having a sustained impact on learning across the school.
Mearns Primary is one of just 11 schools nationwide to have achieved this top accolade.
Councillor Paul O’Kane, East Renfrewshire’s education and equalities convener, said: “Gaining the Primary Science Quality Mark is a fantastic achievement.
“I am delighted to see pupils engaged and enjoying learning about science in and outside of the classroom, thanks to the dedication and commitment of their teachers.
“I hope this scheme continues to inspire the next generation of budding scientists and engineers.”
