NUC Physics Enhancement Course Day 3 (Electricity & Magnetism) - Thurs 15th July 2010

‘The experiments were fantastic! I thought electricity would be hard and complex to understand but the teaching methods were excellent. I now know that even electricity can be taught in an interactive way.’

Al-Hijrah School - Bilkish Mohamed

'Al-Hijrah School had an OFSTED report on 15th and 16th June 2010 and the inspectors said the school no longer needs a 'notice to improve' what a relief! In fact the school achieved a good overall. The inspectors were very impressed with our links with the Physics Factory, especially when I explained that we wanted to deliver the seperate sciences but did not have the expertise and confidence in delivering the EDEXCEL P3 extension topics.'
Bilkish Mohamed

Kaylee Ward (NQT Waverley School) Physics Factory Evaluation Statement

The Physics Factory has given me ideas to be used with all classes and shown me the best ways to explain and demonstrate different Physical concepts.

Physics BTEC Training Day 2 Fri 18th June 2010

'If you have any doubts about attending the course, this has been much better than any Edexcel training I have attended for BTEC science; primarily due to the hands on approach the team at the physics factory have taken to delivering the course, and their close liaison with senior Edexcel EV’s'.
Christopher Browne, Windsor High School

Physics BTEC Training Day 1 Wed 16th June 2010

'I can't wait to deliver the new course now compared to before when I was dreading writing the tasks, the pupils will love the investigations and real life application'. Judy Gregory, Stuart Bathurst School

Lordswood Girls EDEXCEL P2 IAA Day - Monday 14th June 2010

The Physics Factory organised an intervention day to help prepare students for their EDEXCEL Physics P2 internally assessed activity (IAA).

The girls worked extremely hard and achieved some excellent grades. In fact all the students achieved their target grade or better, with 69% achieving higher than their predicted grade. What a wonderful group to work with!
