New space academy is set to launch

 The Ogden Trust is one of several organisations supporting a new National Space Academy that will provide teaching training to help bring space into the classroom, creating a network of outstanding teachers and space scientists.


Exceptional teachers will train at the academy, run by the National Space Centre on behalf of the UK Space Agency, bringing what they learn about space to lessons in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), as well as geography.

A three-year pilot programme was a great success in demonstrating how positively students responded to space as a learning context. The new academy will launch this year, initially working with a group of 12 teachers from across England.
