FUNDING from the People's Postcode Lottery has enabled a Maryport teacher to attend an enrichment event.

David Nicholson, head of chemistry at Netherhall School attended the enrichment residential for teachers of Maths, Science and Design and Technology which was organised by the PTI.

The event took place between Saturday, November 26 and Monday, November 28 in Crewe, Chesire.

Mr Nicholson was able to attend this course as part of a funding package for teachers of £125,000 that was granted by the postcode lottery. 

He said: "The Residential has been a great chance to discuss new ideas and share experiences with like-minded people."

Chris Pope, co-director at the PTI also said: "As society beings to return to normal following the pandemic restrictions being lifted, it was fantastic to see so many engaged teachers at our Subject Enrichment Residential this weekend."
