Impact of partnership work done in 2025 (ISC annual Census 2026)

  • 9 state schools involved
  • 201-500 state school pupils involved
  • 25 staff hours given

Impact Statement

We loan our swimming pool and 6 members of staff for 1.5 hours weekly to 75 primary school children. This saves the primary school in the region of £20,000 per annum

Feedback from external students is overwhelmingly positive, with 95% expressing their enjoyment and 81% saying the Teach Together programme has increased their confidence, determination and resilience.
• “I have a more positive attitude towards languages now”

• “I have learned about the Fibonacci sequence and Golden ratio”

This is echoed in feedback from partner school staff, with 100% reporting improvement in academic achievement and students’ attitudes:
• “How wonderful it was to have so many of your staff and students in last Thursday. It felt like we were the new GDST outpost. Thank you to all your team for their energy and enthusiasm.” Elizabeth Tongue, Senior Deputy Headteacher, Tolworth Girls’ School

• “The children are so happy, including the new swimmers who are all showing confidence to take part.” Rosie Williamson, Head of School, West Wimbledon

• “Your students are great ambassadors for the school and wonderful role models for women in science.” Siobhan Kerins, Headteacher, St. Boniface RC Primary School

• “I liked all the activities and I found that having it on Saturdays was very helpful because you didn't have to stay at home. I loved the baking.” SHINE student

• “Being given the time to properly get to know your mentee and find out all about their life - watching them grow and become more comfortable in themselves is incredibly heart-warming and rewarding.” SHINE mentor
