South West London Primary Science Conference RE124 / L04

The highly successful South West London Primary Science Conference is returning to The Exchange in Twickenham, a collaboration between the South West London Science Learning Partnership, St Mary's University, London Borough of Merton and Achieving for Children (Kingston, Richmond, Windsor and Maidenhead).  It's a jam-packed day of expert-led workshops for EYFS, KS1 and KS2 suitable for science subject leaders, teachers, NQT's, RQT's and teaching assistants.

We take over the theatre for the day and a range of science educational organisations will be represented running workshops and exhibition stands, giving you the chance to discuss your needs. You will also have time to meet colleagues, share expertise and build your local network.  We look forward to seeing you for what promises to be an exciting day.

What people have said about our event:

• Really enjoyed the day. Having just recently arrived from New Zealand to teach here I have benefitted so much from today. Most of all it reminded me of the ‘awe and wonder’ of science and how we can share this with our pupils. Thanks so much.
• Thoroughly enjoyable and useful.
• I am looking forward to sharing all I’ve learnt with my colleagues. Thank you for the inspiration.
