SPOTLIGHT ExpertEdLive

The OPEN Learning Partnership initiated a new online venture connecting quality speakers with schools across the country using newfound conferencing opportunities. Under the banner of ExpertEdLive with Professor Lord Robert Winston as Patron, we connected with universities, other local area partnerships and Multi-Academy Trusts to reach 20,000 children from six UK regions. Financial support from Imperial College London, Harrow, ACS and Shrewsbury has provided two part-time staff members and we welcomed two new partnerships in Guildford and Newcastle. Our aim is to have national reach within two years.

Family events, including midweek Maths and Summer Science, had a total attendance of over 8000, connecting with 200-400 homes per week in Maths, Science and, from September 2022, Modern Foreign Languages.

Highlight speakers including Professor Lord Robert Winston and astronaut Helen Sharman attracted over 2000 each.

The Engineering Module supported by Swansea University saw a total attendance of 560.
