One of the key questions in every science subject leader's mind is 'How do I engage the wider community in science at my school?' There are many interpretations of this 'wider community'. It could involve linking with parks and doing community gardening, supporting other schools by sharing ideas and expertise or leading cluster groups, or sharing science with parents by bringing them into school during lessons or running parent-and-child science clubs. All involve sharing the school's beliefs about the principles of science.
