The whole package is designed to
better meet the needs of primary

Being a member of ASE will also
allow schools to work towards the
Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM);
see www.ase.org.uk/professional-
development/primary-science-quality-
mark-psqm, which is now gaining
momentum as it is rolled out nationwide.
We are also planning a new area on the
ASE website to support all the categories
of primary membership dedicated to
primary resources, it will be produced by
primary teachers for primary teachers
and will be available soon after the start
of the academic year, evolving as the year
goes on. This will, of course, be available
to new primary school e-members.
So, to find out more about getting
all you need as a professional teacher of
primary science, either as an individual or
on behalf of your school, please visit
www.ase.org.uk/about-ase/primary-science
Existing primary school members
who wish to transfer to the new
e-membership may do so when their
current membership comes up for
renewal.
Farewellalmostto Andrew Rankin
At the end of July, we said farewell to
Andrew Rankin in his role as Field Officer
for the South of England. Andrew has
been active in ASE for many years since
he joined as a PGCE student and, after a
long and successful career in teaching,
devoted even more of his time to serving
ASE, as a Field Officer and as the Annual
Conference Honorary Meetings Secretary.
He was a Field Officer for five years and
developed excellent links in the South of
England. He was a major contributor to
and Editor of the Points South Newsletter
and, along with the region committees
and other Field Officers, was a key player
in the planning and delivery of the
annual South East Area Conference and
contributed to many other region events.
We shall miss Andrews knowledge,
humour and enthusiasm and wish him
well for the future as he spends more
time with his family and plans even more
global travel.
However, it will not be a complete
goodbye to Andrew as he is still the
Honorary Meetings Secretary for the
next Annual Conference in Reading,
before he hands over to Susie Burr.
He also plans to stay active in
his region and support ASE where
he can.
CSciTeach, RSci and RSciTech:
Why do I need to become registered?
Registrar, John Lawrence, says:
Ultimately, it is a personal decision, but being registered
denotes a professional standing that a degree alone
cannot confer. You are a professional scientist, signed up
to a code of conduct and committed to maintaining your
CPD during your professional career.
At the time of writing, 185 members have been awarded
Chartered Science Teacher status, with an additional 37
members achieving Registered Scientist and 28 Registered
Technician status. ASE congratulates everyone who is
taking up this exciting opportunity to further their career
in science teaching.
