Always rooted in real and concrete science and taking their lead from the Curriculum, our Science Workshops for primary schools across the UK provide an excellent way of engaging students with science and supporting them in understanding the world (and worlds) around them.

Delivered by practitioners who are passionate about science, these exciting programmes use age-appropriate, drama-based approaches to cement existing learning, clarify difficult concepts, challenge thinking and introduce new content.

We know how complex delivering whole-school approaches to science can be, so you can now book a Big Science Day for a number of year groups, comprising either different workshops exploring a number of topics - or a range of age-differentiated activities on a single scientific theme!

"A huge thank you from all the staff at EPS for yesterday's workshops. I've had such good feedback from everyone. The children absolutely loved the (Science Skills) sessions and I'm sure will have taken a lot from them. We had a great day and I've picked up lots of ideas myself so thank you."  Ellesmere Primary

"Each workshop was tailor-made for specific ages so that the whole school was reached and could access the activities. Learning about Scientists and Inventors through Drama meant that this important part of the curriculum was delivered in an engaging way – a part of the curriculum that can sometimes be a little dry. I liked the focus on smashing stereotypes – part of the theme of Science Week and really great for our children to find out about a diverse range of pioneers in Science.” Burnt Oak Primary

Science Assemblies

Assemblies are a great way, of course, of both generating a buzz around school and sowing the seeds for a shared experience, so we're happy to lead interactive and entertaining whole-school assemblies at the start of a day of any of our science programmes - and all at no extra cost! 

"We had high expectations and you didn't' disappoint. Jackson was an excellent provider and presenter - he was upbeat and professional, working with staff and children to really fit in with our day. I would highly recommend using As Creatives to any school, the flexibility of the sessions, the way that they could be tailored to our needs, both in curriculum terms and age group was exemplary. It is so hard to find providers of good curriculum focussed activities for the younger children which isn't simply based on music and movement. Thankyou." Science Day, Leicester Grammar Junior School
