Mr Jones is a very unique teacher, he teaches very differently to other teachers but his teaching is very effective. I learn a lot from every lesson at the Physics Factory. The facilities available at the Physics Factory make the subject very enjoyable.

Perfect teaching, the standard of teaching is superb!

Mr Jones has been a great help. He makes everything clear so we can understand fully and also remember. We do many practicals which are fun and give us a better understanding of the work taught.

The lessons are very interactive and make lessons fun.

Mr Jones is an excellent teacher who teaches through exciting/useful practicals. He can communicate very well and understands the students' needs. An alternative approach to traditional teaching has helped me learn more effectively.

Lessons are better here than at school which are mainly listening to the teacher.

The practicals are a better method of teaching.

I have learned a lot whilst being here. Even when I am ill and unable to come Mr Jones does a re-cap so that we all can try to remember the work that was done. Even when we don't understand something,Sir tries to make it fun so we can remember what is going on.

We learn a lot because we have a great teacher who puts everything across to us clearly. In addition, there are also top of the range facilities here to help us to learn Physics.

The best teaching of Physics I have ever had. Physics seems easier when Mr Jones teaches it.

STUDENT EXIT QUESTIONNAIRE (completed during final Physics Factory lesson)
Number of students = 29

BEFORE PHYSICS FACTORY LESSONS:
5 (17%) students said they wanted to study Physics at A Level

AFTER PHYSICS FACTORY LESSONS:
14 (48%) students now say they intend to study Physics at A Level
9 ‘more’ students now intend to study Physics at A Level (this is a 180% increase)

100% of students rate the quality of teaching and learning as either excellent or good with 97% saying it is excellent

100% of students agree or strongly agree that the Physics Factory does a good job at making Physics lessons fun with 90% saying they strongly agree.

HOW COULD THE PHYSICS FACTORY BE MADE BETTER FOR STUDENTS NEXT YEAR?
‘Have a short break half way through the lesson’
‘More outdoor work’
‘Temperature control in class and more comfortable seats’
‘More individual learning should take place for kids who are struggling’
‘They should move to another room as it is too cramped’
‘Regular feedback to the student on their work so they know how to improve’
‘Move closer to my school’
