Congratulations to @christinaastin.bsky.social for winning the Phillips Award for outstanding leadership for over 30 years in widening participation in physics, especially for women and girls, through innovative education, outreach and mentoring initiatives with national and international impact. 👏
This programme is available for anyone leading partnerships across schools in a Trust, with feeder schools, hub, cross-sector. All welcome!
Thanks @jillberry102.bsky.social 😊
❓are the right students chosen for projects?
❓are teachers rewarded with time, £? is that consistent?
❓how aware are staff, students, parents?
And the one I hear most:
❓how can we measure impact? Real outcomes, including long term.
More here: www.linkedin.com/posts/christ...
❓do the partner schools fund it equally?
❓legal entity or more informal?
❓involve university, charity, council - even as central coordinator?
❓aims: academic? building skills? teacher networks? opportunity to interact with more diverse group?
❓school day or twilight?

Interesting report and comparison between two great x-sector school #partnerships published this week: epi.org.uk/wp-content/u...
There are many choices to be made when setting up an ISSP. Some of my thoughts below…
Excellent article about school #partnerships 👇
Science Teachers! If you're looking for a relatively cheap leaving present for your Y11s / Y13s, "The Works" sell 3 copies of "Why Don't Things Fall Up?" for £7.50 - that's £75 for 30, free P&P. Or buy a set for your classes next year. It's a great book - don't take my word for it, read the reviews
It was an absolute pleasure to spend the morning with #partnerships colleagues from across the GDST Trust yesterday and to share my thoughts on the 3 S’s of partnerships:
Strategic
Successful
Sustainable
Many thanks for inviting me.
@nghs-gdst.bsky.social (any other #GDST schools here?)
An absolute pleasure to join school #partnership leads across GDST this morning to deliver a keynote at the start of their Trust-wide Partnerships Day.
Thanks for inviting me!
Saved up some reading for today after a busy week…
Excellent day at the AGBIS conference yesterday & good to have so many #partnerships chats with colleagues there.
Early start for AGBIS conference, but this brought a smile as I walked to the station 🌷

It was lovely to be able to give a copy to a fellow science teacher at our Kent Festival of Physics yesterday. Thanks so much Alom! #KentPhysics25
It was lovely to meet you Simon and thank you for a fabulous keynote about using video in teaching physics!
#KentPhysics25 - our doors are open!!!
7 hours of physics teacher CPD about to start. 🌟
Yes!!! We have to change the system so that current primary school pupils can be whatever they want to be.
Thank you! You too!!
Hi, it’s a professional development day for physics teachers & technicians. But do check out Physics Partners for student events, competitions etc. 😊
Thanks for the shoutout Alom!
