What is Health Detectives?
Health Detectives is a programme aimed at Year 3-6 students to encourage them to make the link between Science, and Health and Medicine. The programme draws on students’ key learnings from the Science curriculum from early years to their current stage, Key Stage 2. An additional aim of the programme is to broaden students’ interests in and application of skills to Health and Medical related careers.
What is involved?
