London Science Teaching

The London Science teaching web site is a new site which aims to make it easy for science teachers and technicians across London to share and celebrate good ideas for teaching science.

Initiated by London Science Challenge, the site consists of entries by teachers and technicians showing what works well in science laboratories in London secondary schools and colleges. Users of the site are invited to contribute entries and share good teaching practice.

London Challenge's goal is to raise standards in London secondary schools. It also aims to give the city's young people better opportunities and to make it a world class leader in education.

The Challenge is a five-year partnership between Government, schools and London boroughs. It offers:

• London-wide resources for all schools;
  
• Individual bespoke support for around 70 of the city's most disadvantaged schools;
  
• Intensive work with five key boroughs (Hackney, Islington, Haringey, Southwark and Lambeth).

The Challenge focuses on teachers, students, school leaders, buildings and the environment.

The website is hosted by the Nuffield Curriculum Centre.
