Science trainees worked in three Partnership schools at the end of September as part of our ‘Collaborative Teaching Day’. In each school they had the chance to team teach a class, with a focus on finding out what young people already knew and understood about a topic they were yet to study. They also observed a range of lessons including some exciting KS5 practicals in biology. Young people were all very enthusiastic, and the level of their existing knowledge was a surprise to many trainees.

Many thanks to colleagues in Wilmslow High, Trinity and William Hulme for accommodating us all in what was a very valuable learning experience for trainees. This type of activity happens in many subjects – please let us know if you’d like to get involved.
