Discover Primary Science and Maths (DPSM) is the national programme, run by Science Foundation Ireland, to foster interest in science, technology, engineering and maths amongst children in primary schools. The programme awards certificates of excellence each year to participating schools. Barefield National School has received one of these awards in the past. This involves providing evidence of hands on investigations, use of technology, use of engineering and use of maths skills involving science.
