Abstract	This article describes how the Science Department at Shoeburyness High School in Essex introduced a space-themed year 8 (ages 12-13) science course to increase student engagement and motivation. As well as discussing the rationale for such curriculum change, it describes the processes of planning and resourcing the course, and the barriers that need to be overcome to make such a significant undertaking successful. (Contains 2 tables and 5 figures.) (As Provided).
