Membership of HEP Science
How does it work?
Access to the HEP Science curriculum programme and community is currently based on a subscription model for groups of schools. We work with clusters such as multi-academy trusts, local partnerships of schools and councils.
If you are a single school looking to subscribe to the programme, we will be opening up access with the launch of the HEP Science curriculum as part of the new HEP School Improvement website for 2026/27. If you would like to access the programme earlier, please consider whether (i) there is a network or cluster of schools you might be able to work with or (ii) if not, please sign here and we will send you free resources and updates:

Subscriptions are annual. Once your subscription is activated, your Project Lead will be the main point of contact for your family of schools. They will provide the password to download the curriculum material, forms to order hard copies of the booklets and links to guidance and support sessions with the author.
Training sessions and support from the author will also be organised by your Project Lead and will allow your cluster to access regular keep-in-touch sessions with Brenda Hayles, to guide your teachers through and maximise the full benefits of the programme.
Your HEP Science membership includes:
In development
• (KS1) Year 2 series to be completed in early 2026
• (KS2) – all KS2 units to have a retrieval quiz and synoptic task as assessment supplements, to be completed in early 2026.
Pricing Structure
The HEP Science programme is a complete offer and the price covers access to all online resources. HEP Science is unique in providing implementation, guidance and support from the start, led by the expert who designed the curriculum. Membership of HEP Science includes access to all resources on the website and all training.
Optional Resources:
Once you are a member, you will have the option to purchase hard copies of the booklets too. KS1 booklets are priced at £2 per unit and KS2 booklets at £3 per unit, plus a subsidised £10 delivery charge.
The booklets are designed to support learning but are not individual workbooks. Pupils do not write in them, which allows them to be reused year after year. Beautifully printed with durable covers, each booklet is expected to remain in good condition for around five years depending on their upkeep. Schools are able to buy as many as suit them, for example, a single class set and rotated across different classes.
From time to time, Brenda Hayles may introduce small updates to the booklets, such as minor content adjustments based on feedback and developments in subject knowledge or the National Curriculum. Any minor updates will not significantly alter the material and will not require schools to replace existing sets. Schools are not permitted to print their own versions of the booklets.
