The partnerships have significant benefits for teachers, young people, and employers – transforming both the educational culture around STEM in schools and young people’s achievement and aspirations.
Schools and colleges taking part receive access to continued professional development, leading educational resources, STEM Ambassadors and teacher placements. With links to local businesses and industry, our learners gain a greater understanding of the STEM industry and possible career paths.
Lisa McCall, Headteacher at Wales High School said: “I am delighted that we have been chosen for the ENTHUSE Partnership and that we will have the chance to support other schools with their work around STEM.
“With the rapid changes in technology and engineering, STEM education has never been so important for the future. STEM teaches students to be creative and analytical, whilst encouraging them to look at solving societal problems with innovative thinking.”
