Schools across London and the South East are facing one of the toughest recruitment challenges in education: a shortage of high-calibre STEM teachers. Recent reports highlight how vacancies in science, technology, engineering and maths subjects are rising year on year, leaving schools competing fiercely for a limited pool of talent.
