Qualified and Experienced Teacher

This workshop is delivered by Steven Lewis-Neill, a fully qualified Primary Teacher with experience across all Key Stages. As a former Science Coordinator, I've provided staff training in Scientific Enquiry. My research in Liverpool primary schools focused on animals' positive impact on children's self-esteem. With an MSc in Animal Behaviour, I founded WildWorkshops. Now, I offer schools practical science workshops inspired by British wildlife, aligning with the science curriculum.
