Join us at the University of Sussex on Saturday 17 June for the free-to-attend 6th Annual Teacher Researcher Conference 2017 (coffee and registration 9.00-9.30am in the Fulton foyer).

This event presents a great chance to network and exchange ideas with colleagues over a sandwich lunch, too!

Conference themes include

  • Innovative pedagogy and assessment in primary and secondary contexts
