Teacher Resources
The PARTNERS Programme is available for applications from any student that lives in the UK. The resources below are available to help you to promote this opportunity to students at your school or college.
Intro to PARTNERS
The following presentation video has been produced by the PARTNERS Team to introduce the Programme to prospective students. You may wish to share the link to this video with your students or use it during an assembly.
It summarises the key aspects of the Programme, including:
- PARTNERS Academic Summer School.
- Benefits of taking part.
- The eligibility criteria.
- How to apply.
Our outreach team is available throughout the year to deliver a PARTNERS talk to students in years 12 and 13.
Aimed at raising awareness of the Programme amongst your students, the talk is also flexible and can last between 20 to 60 minutes, depending upon your requirements.
In line with current, safe working conditions we are able to deliver events online if necessary. Alternatively, you can use the video above to introduce the Programme to your students.
Please contact us and a member of the team will get back to you as soon as possible to confirm availability.
In order to successfully process a student’s application to the PARTNERS Programme, it must be verified by a referee.
The referee should be a member of staff who is familiar with the applicant and can verify the details within the student’s application.
If you have been selected as a referee then please follow our guidance to verify your student’s application:
If you need to be set up as a PARTNERS referee so that you can verify your student's application to the Programme, please contact us with the following information:
- your name
- your job title
- your school/college and postcode
- your email address
Upon receipt of this information, we'll set you up on the PARTNERS Programme application platform.
You can find out what we do with your data, how we keep it safe, and how you can exercise your data rights by reading our updated privacy notices.
If you are already set up as a referee, but your email address has changed or is incorrect, you can amend this yourself via the referee portal.
