Science Learning Partnership - Cambridgeshire & Peterborough


The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Science Learning Partnership is one of the regional representatives of STEM Learning.

We 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 our region.

We offer network meetings, stand-alone courses, conferences and bespoke CPD, with a new programme of activities available every term. We 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 our STEM network partners we can support you with all things relating to science teaching and STEM careers.

Contact us at training@swaveseyvc.co.uk to see how we can support you.
