The courses are packed with practical ideas to inspire curiosity and support scientific enquiry. Becoming part of an online community is also a great opportunity to share ideas, challenges and find support from experts and teachers just like yourself. 

Live remote courses for teachers

A programme of free STEM courses that can be accessed remotely covering subject knowledge, pedagogy, curriculum design and health and safety. Each course is led by an accredited facilitator and delivered across a series of short live sessions. In between sessions, there are structured tasks for teachers to explore key resources, develop materials to share with colleagues and reflect on their own learning. 

Courses include: 

  • Teaching: EYFS, KS1, LKS2, UKS2 

  • Leading primary science 

  • Primary science for NQTs 

  • A range of teaching and leadership courses on computing 

Each course has a variety of start dates across May, June and July, so make sure to book your place. 

Online courses for teachers

The flexibility of these online courses allows teachers to learn wherever and whenever alongside their teaching. They include real classroom footage, opportunities to discuss lessons with colleagues from around the world and experience learning from leading experts in their respective fields.

Each course has a start date, but you can join any time during its running period. Check out the calendar for course availability. 

Courses include: 

  • Teaching Primary Science: Getting Started 

  • Teaching for home learning: Primary science
