Tonbridge School achieve the Employer Champion award
The Science Council is delighted to welcome the first school to the Employer Champion programme.
The award was presented to Tonbridge School on Thursday 23rd March 2023 as part of their first Science Technician Convention. The convention aims to develop and promote strong collaborative links between the state and private school sector across London and the South East. Technicians had an opportunity to discuss ideas in small group forums, to share and develop good practice.
Science Council chief executive Helen Gordon presented the award to Tonbridge School Head Teacher, James Priory.
Helen Gordon “We’re delighted that Tonbridge School will be supporting more colleagues to achieve, through registration, external recognition of the high standard of technical expertise that technicians bring to their organisation.”
