Post 16 Science / STEM School Workshops

Evidence-Informed Approaches to Strengthen A Level Teaching, Challenge, and STEM Progression

High-quality Post-16 Science teaching is essential for preparing students for university, apprenticeships, and STEM careers. Our Post 16 Science / STEM INSET programmes provide teachers with evidence-informed strategies to strengthen subject knowledge, improve conceptual understanding, and deliver ambitious, well-structured A Level teaching. Staff explore how to challenge the most able, close knowledge gaps, support scientific thinking, and guide students toward A/A* outcomes across Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. These courses emphasise modelling, exam technique, misconceptions, higher-level reasoning, and curriculum design that promotes deep learning. Whether schools aim to improve attainment, stretch high-achievers, or build teacher confidence in complex scientific content, these programmes support stronger results and more successful STEM pathways for all learners.

A/A* Strategies for Biology A level

Achieving top grades in Biology requires deep conceptual understanding, precise application, and mastery of complex processes. This INSET provides teachers with strategies to stretch high-attaining students, strengthen exam technique, and develop high-level scientific reasoning. Participants explore misconceptions, command-word analysis, synoptic links, and approaches that promote A/A*-level responses. This course helps teachers support ambitious learners to reach their full potential.

Challenging able Chemistry students to reach their true potential

A Level Chemistry demands strong analytical thinking and secure understanding of abstract concepts. This INSET equips teachers with evidence-informed strategies to challenge able students through problem-solving, multi-step reasoning, and deeper conceptual modelling. Participants learn how to design high-challenge tasks, address misconceptions, and refine exam skills. This course supports teachers to push capable learners toward excellence and higher attainment.

Challenging the most able Physics students

Physics often stretches even the most able Post-16 learners. This INSET helps teachers design challenging lessons that develop mathematical reasoning, conceptual fluency, and strong problem-solving skills. Participants explore modelling strategies, advanced question types, and approaches to support students in mastering demanding Physics topics. This course enables teachers to enhance stretch and challenge for the most capable Physics students.

Raising Attainment in Biology A level

Improving A Level Biology outcomes requires secure subject knowledge, effective modelling, and targeted intervention. This INSET supports teachers to strengthen core concepts, address misconceptions, and build students’ confidence in applying biological ideas. Participants learn exam-focused strategies including command-word interpretation, structured extended responses, and retrieval routines. This course helps schools close gaps and raise overall attainment in Biology.
