Grant News

Following its latest strategic review, the Ogden Trust has announced that its Physics Education Grants scheme will reopen for a final round on the 2nd January 2026.

The scheme offers grants of up to £5,000 to schools, colleges and charities in England who wish to carry out projects that support the teaching and learning of physics.

Projects must be centred around physics and developed with current evidence in mind. The Trust may also consider partial funding for general science projects with a clear physics component.

Grants are split into two strands:

• Curriculum support: to support the teaching and learning of physics from 11-18 in the classroom, including equipment for teaching physics, teaching resources and teacher CPD
• Enrichment activities: to support physics extra-curricular activities for school and college students (4-18) from under-represented groups

From 2026 the Trust will refocus its support on providing free professional development opportunities for physics teachers.
