It was fantastic to see the 11-19 Committee so well represented at this year's Annual Conference. Andy Chandler-Grevatt was kept busy presenting on 'Five Year assessment' and 'Pinch points planned intervention in science'. Meanwhile, Sarah Longshaw and Euan Douglas, both current Heads of Science, made their Conference debuts presenting sessions on 'The challenges of science leadership' and 'More content, more depth: coping with the new GCSEs' respectively. Liz Coppard presented her first academic research poster on 'Teaching about the nature of matter in the pri-sec transition phase'.
