Primary Engineer’s Rail Project

Beacon is delighted to be helping fund the Primary Engineer Rail Project. This connects Beacon with ten schools across the Westminster area providing their pupils with a practical introduction to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics academic disciplines, “STEM”.

Primary Engineer’s Rail Project offers CPD training, tools and classroom resources to teachers of Key Stages 1 and 2. These provide curriculum-mapped, engineering-based lessons with a rail context and links them to engineering professionals to support them in the classroom.

The Primary Engineer Rail Project alerts pupils to the exciting careers available in the railway industry. Together with access to Beacon rolling stock engineers, this will give them an insight into the endless possibilities the rail industry can offer.

Dr Susan Scurlock, CEO and Founder of Primary Engineer, said:

“The rail sector is in a period of exciting change which provides great opportunities for primary pupils to be inspired by technological developments such as battery and hydrogen powered trains. Our fabulous partnership with Beacon Rail will enable even more pupils to develop skills and insights through the Primary Engineer Rail Project and engagement with Beacon Rail Leasing engineers. »

Adam Cunliffe, CEO of Beacon Rail Leasing, said:

“We are delighted to work with Primary Engineer and connect with schools across Westminster, where our London office is based. The rail industry offers multiple engineering disciplines and has an ever-increasing role to play in a sustainable transport network for both passengers and freight.”

Adam Cunliffe continues:
