We are delighted to announce that with the support of The Spectris Foundation, we will be running our successful Keeping Science Practical project for a further two years. 

The programme, previously backed by the Wolfson Foundation, will continue to support schools in difficult circumstances in their provision of high-quality practical science education. Through a targeted and tailored programme of online and face-to-face CPD for science leaders, early career teachers and school science technicians, we will seek to increase the effectiveness of practical science in these schools. 

We are now seeking expressions of interest from schools to take part in this fully funded programme of support for practical science. See our programme information page for full details of what is offered for schools who successfully apply to take part.

To be eligible to join the programme you will need to be:

• A secondary school in the UK
• A school with demonstratable disadvantages for learners, eg local socio-economic factors  (like high levels of unemployment, and poor social mobility).
• If you aren’t sure if you are eligible, complete the expression of interest form available on the programme page, and we can discuss this with you.
