Inset Days

Bringing the science of learning to life in your school

At Neuroscience for Education, we translate the latest brain research into practical strategies that teachers and educational leaders can use every day. Our INSET and CPD sessions are designed to empower staff with knowledge and tools to help learners – and the wider school community – flourish.


Each session draws on evidence-based neuroscience, making complex ideas accessible, relevant, and immediately applicable in the classroom. Whether you’re looking for a full INSET day, a half-day session, or a short twilight workshop, we tailor every experience to your school’s priorities and context.

Why bring neuroscience into your staff training?


Understanding how the brain learns, manages emotion and responds to challenge helps teachers create more effective, inclusive and motivating learning environments. Our sessions inspire curiosity and reflection while providing practical approaches that can be used the very next day.


Schools that work with us often tell us their staff leave feeling re-energised, more confident and better equipped to support their pupils’ wellbeing and progress.
