Residential CPD programme: 2022 to 2023

We are excited to launch our 2022 to 2023 residential CPD programme, taking place in York at the National STEM Learning Centre.

Residential CPD is high-impact, intensive training in a classroom environment, where you can reflect, network with peers and develop your teaching in interactive and impactful ways. Courses are delivered face-to-face, with accommodation and meals included for the duration of your stay so you can maximise your learning.

If you teach in state-funded education in England, residential courses are free, and you will be eligible for a subsidy for supply cover, paid to your school or college.
