Why subscribe to the package?

Package membership gives access to high quality, facilitator led, subject specific CPD. By collaborating with other schools, we increase the opportunity for sharing expertise and good practice. Science teacher have access to a  network of colleagues, all of whom will be facing similar challenges and opportunities, and teachers can learn from each other. There are sometimes further opportunities for participating in projects, and schools that are already collaborating are better placed to apply for these (i.e. Ogden Trust and Enthuse partnerships)

How much does it cost my school?

The package will be priced at £450 pp including a full day of CPD refreshments and lunch but Stem Learning are offering a teacher release subsidy of £300 which would make the price @ £150.00 per school.

How can I claim my teacher Release payment?

This teacher release payment will be applied by TSEM Learning. Your school will complete a BACS form. Up front when you sign up your school would pay for the entire package and receive the TRP back at the end of the course via BACS.

We hope you can join us for this package of valuable science CPD support and we look forward to working with you and your school
