Physics Partners is dedicated to addressing the critical shortage of skilled physics teachers in the UK. Your support can make a significant difference in shaping the future of physics education and nurturing the next generation of scientists and innovators.
Why Support Us?
• There are fewer Physics Teachers in the UK than Red Pandas in the world!
• Only 17% of the target for new physics teachers was recruited in 2022/3
• More than a third of physics teachers in secondary schools are non-specialists
• The UK energy sector alone will need to recruit an additional 400,000 jobs by 2050 to reach net zero
Our Impact:
In 2023-24, we improved the physics experience for over 120,000 pupils in the UK. With your help, we can reach even more teachers and students.
How You Can Support Us:
- Annual Giving – Regular donations allow us to plan effectively for the future. Thanks to Gift Aid, we can claim an additional 25p for every £1 donated.
- Corporate Sponsorship – Support our events like physics festivals or local physics hubs. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your company and build links with schools.
- Legacy Giving – Leave a lasting impact by including Physics Partners in your legacy plans. Your generosity will ensure our mission continues for years to come.
- Grants – We’re always seeking new Trusts and Foundations aligned with our work. Multi-year grants are particularly valuable as they allow us to plan ahead.
Our Funding Goals:
Our fundraising target is £250k per year, so that we can successfully deliver our work and scale up our programs:
With your support, we can:
• Scale up our offering to reach more teachers
• Work with more multi-academy trusts
• Offer regional physics festivals in every region
• Create new physics hubs in areas of disadvantage
• Build a mentoring programme for teachers
“Thanks to the expert training from Physics Partners, physics has gone from the poorest science across our schools to the strongest science.”
