Why schools get in touch
Schools typically get in touch when:
- A new science lead has taken on the role and wants clear direction
- Science has been identified as a development priority
- Staff confidence in teaching science needs strengthening
- Leaders want clearer progression across year groups
- Preparing for an Ofsted. Science identified as a priority.
- Science feels inconsistent across the school
Training is practical, manageable and rooted in everyday classroom practice.

I have to say that I thought Danny was excellent and pitched it just right. There was so much to take away from this session.
Science with Danny has been brilliant and I have gained extensive subject knowledge. Lesson ideas, links to resources and shown how to put everything into practise so that we can try them out ourselves.
Very engaging and knowledgeable presenter. Lots of suggestions for good secondary material. Best one I’ve been to – thanks so much.
How schools typically work with us
Support is tailored to the needs of each school and may include:
- Whole-school INSET or staff meeting training
- Subject leader development sessions
- Follow-up training to support implementation
- Ongoing science development across the academic year
- Science leader networks and cluster sessions
Many schools begin with a single training session and continue with further support as science develops within the school.
