Cheshire & Wirral Science Learning Partnership: Primary CPD 2021

As the STEM Ambassador Hub for Merseyside & Cheshire we are part of the National STEM Learning Network, which also includes Science Learning Partnerships (SLPs).

SLPs combine local expertise in teaching and learning in science, facilitating CPD, and providing school-to-school support. They can help you to develop the teaching of science in your school through scheduled CPD or bespoke support tailored to the needs of you and your staff.
