We were delighted in 2019-20 to take the whole year to focus on developing science teaching and learning in our schools, offering a range of science related CPD to teachers from Hackney and beyond. This included hosting our first Primary Science Conference, “Up and Atom!” in Autumn 2019 in partnership with STEM Learning and featuring guest speakers from the Science Museum amongst others.

We also developed partnerships with local university outreach teams to offer activities and opportunities to our pupils, such as the inflatable planetarium from Imperial College London which visited Holy Trinity School in Spring 2020.

We want this science CPD and activities during 2019-20 to act as a springboard to foster ongoing creative high quality science teaching and learning across our schools, and we want more of our pupils to see themselves as scientists of the future. If any STEM partners are interested in collaborating with us going forward, to add to the science curriculum and opportunities offered to our pupils, we would love to hear from you.
