ExploreSecondary Science Teaching Training
Great secondary science opens doors, from GCSE success to careers in STEM. But teaching biology, chemistry, and physics well, especially outside a teacher’s specialism, is demanding. This training helps your science department strengthen subject knowledge, practical work, and exam outcomes across all three sciences.
Below, we explain what our secondary science training involves, and how it helps you raise science outcomes.
What Is Secondary Science Teaching Training?
It’s practical training that helps secondary science teachers strengthen their practice. We cover subject knowledge across biology, chemistry, and physics, teaching outside your specialism, effective practical work, tackling misconceptions, and preparing pupils for GCSE and beyond.
We focus on the challenges of secondary science teaching and tailor it to your department, your specification, and your priorities.
Who Is This Training For?
It’s designed for secondary education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, and post-16 providers. It suits science departments, non-specialist science teachers, and early career teachers. Trusts often run it across schools to raise science outcomes.
Many schools ask for it to strengthen science teaching, support teaching outside specialism, or improve GCSE science results.
