Primary Science HUB courses
24 - 25
The Science Hub is self funded and run by St Clement Danes School by a team of dedicated and enthusiastic science experts. We were previously a DfE funded SLP but as the funding has been withdrawn, we are continuing to offer high quality Science CPD to fill the gap. We aim to ensure that local teachers can attend the Science CPD they need and deserve.
If there is anything you would want to see here or if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us. We hope to see you at one of our courses soon!
*All courses are the same price for Private and State funded Schools.*
*All our courses are booked through Eventbrite which will require you to pay a booking fee alongside the cost of the course you're booking.*
