We are able to draw on a wide range of expertise to support school improvement whether it’s curriculum planning and development, working with new and experienced Subject Leaders, carrying out needs analyses leading to a tailored CPD programme or preparing for Ofsted.

The high quality of our programmes is due in part to the strength of our facilitators and we are always seeking opportunities to work with school based colleagues who wish to develop their skills and expertise in working with colleagues whether this is within the Science Learning Partnership Network or within the facilitor’s own school. Our Facilitator Development Programme leads to accreditation through STEM Learning’s CPD Quality Mark. In addition, our CPD and FDP programme ensures coverage of the Teachers’ Standards and the Standard for Teachers’ Professional Development.
