An update of recent Physics Partners schools meetings.

 

Liverpool 12 September 2016

Six schools met at St Francis Xavier College in Woolton to agree a programme of six meetings this academic year. They will work on the new Key Stage 4 syllabus in Physics.Two other groups of schools, based at West Derby School in Liverpool and St Edmund Arrowsmith Catholic High School in Wigan/St Helen’s also meet for the first time in the coming weeks. The groups have been organised by Physics Partners’ Ambassador in the North West, Ian Andain, and are financed by a generous grant from The Ernest Cook Trust.

Crawley 20 September 2016

An inaugural meeting of the new hub in Crawley consisting of St Wilfrid’s Catholic College, Ifield Community College, Thomas Bennett Community College, Worth School and Oriel High School took place on 20 September. The first session on the practical elements of the new GCSE is due to take place at St Wilfrid’s on 3 October with a second session due on 15 November at Worth.

Testimonials
  • I have always dreaded physics practicals, but now I have a lot more confidence in setting up equipment. Other physics insets I have attended were just watch and do, but Physics Partners have the time to explain everything that I did not fully understand.

    Annie Jand
    Senior Science Technician, Buxton School
  • “Physics remains vitally important to our industries, our infrastructure and our economic wellbeing. For all these reasons, and to allow children to explore their scientific curiosity, all pupils deserve the opportunity to experience expert, innovative physics teaching. Physics Partners helps to achieve this important aim by sending its team of expert trainers into schools to support physics teachers and technicians.The work of Physics Partners fills a real gap in educational provision: I have watched with great interest the expansion of its activities and the increasing recognition of its value. As its Patron I wish it continuing and increasing success.”

    Sir Richard Friend
    Cavendish Professor of Physics, University of Cambridge
  • “As a result of Physics Partners involvement, physics teaching at Harris Academy Chafford Hundred is much stronger, with more students choosing to take it at A-level. We have gained a variety of techniques which we can use in the classroom.”

    Nick Power
    Former Specialist Leader of Education – Science; Harris Academy Chafford Hundred
  • “We started a new hub in Bedford. Physics Partners were instrumental in forming the group and starting us off with training at the Institute of Physics. Our first meeting looked at the challenges of encouraging girls into studying Physics at A-level and beyond. We will also focus on methods of teaching Physics at KS3 to share good practice and build the confidence and skills in all our Physics teachers, specialist and non-specialist, to deliver stimulating lessons. We are so grateful to Physics Partners for initiating this project and are very much looking forward to what the future brings.”

    Emma Smart
    Head of Science, Bedford Girls' School
  • “Resources provided and shared have been instrumental in allowing teaching staff to improve the quality of teaching and learning in physics lessons at all key stages. Inexperienced staff have been given the confidence to teach physics in an engaging and challenging way.”
