Data Collection:

Most data will be collected through science department meetings (on a small scale) and through key stage three meetings (on a large scale)

Furthermore, feedback (oral and written) will be gathered from parents during teacher-parents meeting. Also, parents will be asked to do a survey monkey which is

anonymous to guarantee the credibility of the survey.

For certain students, a shared profile on the E-learning could be used as well.
