Since then, the charity has continued to grow, year-on-year and now has a small team of part-time staff.
We design and deliver bespoke training to help teachers inspire pupils to enjoy physics to a level they would not have done otherwise – whether that is a post-16 science-based apprenticeship, A Level physics or even on to a degree.
To help us reach those teachers that need our support most, we partner with teacher training institutions, multi-academy trusts, independent schools and universities. In 2022-23, through our work with teachers, we improved the experience of physics at school for over 129,300 pupils in England.
