It’s incredibly important that we hear from our users, and we truly value your input.
Your feedback helps ensure that we remain responsive to the needs of educators worldwide.
That’s why, in 2021, we created The Schools' Observatory Teacher Champions.
This group meets three times a year to help guide the direction and development of The Schools' Observatory.
Currently, our Champions are based in UK and Ireland, but if you're outside this region and would like to get involved, please email us at SchoolsObs@ljmu.ac.uk.

We want this group to be as representative as possible of the voice of educators throughout the UK and Ireland. Therefore, we have set the following targets:
- There must be representation from primary, secondary, and further education levels.
- There must be representation from at least 3 (ideally all 5) of the nations covered by The Schools' Observatory: England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
- There must be a maximum of one teacher from a fee-paying school.
- We would like representation from at least 2 teachers from the Liverpool City Region, in line with our commitment to Liverpool John Moores University and our civic duty.
