The Duke of Edinburgh's Award helps young people build resilience, confidence and self-esteem, developing a can do mental attitude to help cope with life's challenges. Such a great opportunity for trainee teachers to be part of.

It’s often a case of attend one expedition and you’re hooked! Trainees have the opportunity to complete the Introduction to DofE course if they find it’s something they want to be involved in.

National Day recognises the impact of great teachers - we want to say a huge thank you to all of the inspirational teachers who we work with, from those in our partner schools who endlessly support and encourage our trainee teachers, to our current trainee teachers and all of the former trainees who have gone on to become wonderful teachers themselves.

That's 2026 💛

Thank you to everyone who said thank you today, and to every teacher and member of staff across the UK. You are appreciated every day, not just this one.

Creating a positive classroom culture is one of the most important foundations for successful teaching.💜

Positive behaviour isn't shaped by occasional big interventions - it's built through the everyday interactions, routines and relationships that help pupils feel valued, supported and ready to learn.

Positive classroom culture isn't built through big moments🏫
​
It's built through the small interactions students experience every day​. We've put together a free guide with five practical techniques, real classroom examples, and printable resources you can use immediately​.

Inspiring a love of Science from an early age. 🔬✨

Science is about curiosity, problem-solving, creativity and collaboration. It's these young people who will be our future engineers, researchers, healthcare professionals and innovators, and experiences like the Greater Manchester Science Share help nurture the skills they need to drive progress.

Train to be a Primary Teacher and see where their curiosity takes them next!

A fantastic day at the Greater Manchester Science Share! 🔬
Our children confidently shared their learning, listened to presentations from other schools and came away full of new ideas. We are incredibly proud of them and their enthusiasm for science! 🧪👏
