Inclusion & Diversity Fortnight - No Outsiders
Usk C.V Primary School, Monmouth Rd, Usk, NP5 1SE
6/1/25 - 17/1/25
For the first two weeks in January, we are running a No Outsiders project. "All different, all welcome". We would like to invite STEM ambassadors in, from all walks of life, to share their stories and perhaps how they've overcome challenges to get to where they are in their career. We want our learners to celebrate who they are and encourage their aspirations. We believe nothing should stop them from achieving their goals, no matter their background, race, colour, ethnicity, gender or other protected characteristics. We know that their is a gender imbalance within STEM and would love to hear from women who would love to share their stories. Ultimately, we want to tackle STEM stereotyping! We're looking for ambassadors to deliver short assemblies to the whole school (no longer than 25 minutes) but if you'd rather come in to visit classes individually to share your experiences, that's also fine. If you'd like to come in and share your STEM story, please get in touch. We are also running a 'No Outsiders' festival day on Friday 10th January so if you'd like to join us for that, please feel free. We can use this as an opportunity to promote various career options for our learners. If you are interested in attending this event please register your interest using the link here or email hayley.pincott@see-science.co.uk

Join us for a 30-minute introduction from the Royal Society about how you can support schools to apply for funding, and partner with the schools to have real impact. The Royal Society offer funding to schools to collaborate with a STEM Partner (you! – or your company) to run an investigative project for students. You can be instrumental in letting schools know about the fund they can access as well as working with them to make lasting impact for the students. STEM Partners need to be working in a STEM role and willing to collaborate with the school at regular intervals over a minimum of 1 school term, but all STEM Ambassadors are welcome to join this talk to find out more. This is an information session for STEM Ambassadors, no prep or further commitment needed. To book go
