Support Partners for Primary Science 

What do they do?

These are teachers working in Kent who have had training in order to allow them to offer support in science for other primary schools. They are all able to model lessons in their own schools, and many are willing to visit other schools to meet with staff/science leader or model lessons.

How do I contact them?

In order to make contact with a Support Partner you must first email Andrew Berry (Teacher Adviser for Primary Science). Andrew will then let you know whether the support that you are requesting is available.
