Grant News

Grants of up to £5,000 are available to schools, colleges and other organisations that wish to carry out projects that support the teaching and learning of physics.

Through the Ogden Trust’s Physics Education Grants programme, grants will be awarded for projects centred on physics and developed with current evidence in mind. Part funding for general science projects with a clear physics component may be considered.

The 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

Priority will be given to projects targeting:

• Schools or colleges starting A-level physics,
• Schools or colleges in areas of high deprivation or other socioeconomic need, and
• Support for teacher development relating to core curriculum.

All applicants must be based in the UK and working predominantly in England.

There is one round of funding each term and the next application closing date is the 23rd March 2025.
