The Cambridge and Peterborough Science Learning Partnership
The Cambridge & Peterborough Science Learning Partnership, is one of the regional representatives of STEM Learning
They provide science CPD and support for all phases of education (Early Years right through to FE) and all career stages (Early Career to Head of Science / Primary Subject Lead), as well as supporting technicians across their region.
They offer network meetings, stand-alone courses, conferences and bespoke CPD, with a new programme of activities available every term. They are very conscious of the tight budget that all schools face and are pleased to be able to offer accessible and affordable subscription packages.
Along with their STEM network partners, they can support you with all things relating to science teaching and STEM careers.
