Ogden Trust Science Partnership

The Ogden Trust aims to increase the uptake of physics post-16 by supporting physics education and engagement for all young people (4-18), particularly those in under-represented groups. The Trust supports schools, teachers, projects and programmes that are committed to enhancing physics teaching and learning.

Background

Established by Sir Peter Ogden in 1999, we are a charitable trust that exists to promote the teaching and learning of physics. We provide a portfolio of free physics professional development programmes to support teachers from early years through to KS5, and we support schools to work in partnerships so they can enhance their physics provision and opportunities for students. We work with universities, employers and other organisations to take physics beyond the classroom.
