School Membership

School membership gives teachers year-round access to amazing science resources and bespoke professional development.

School membership prices vary depending on the level of science required (Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze, see below). Membership fees reflect approximately 10% of the cost of delivering this service; we rely on generous sponsors and community grants to keep the cost to schools affordable.

How It Works

Teachers book whatever kit they would like to use online. This kit arrives at the school office on the selected date and is collected by House of Science a week or two later. All consumables, equipment and instructions are provided.

Teachers have access to the teacher manual, student instructions, MoE publications linked to the kit, and a teacher video explaining the science concepts in the kit.
