Physics factory

Developing the next generation of physicists...
The Physics Factory, based at King Edward VI Five Ways School, has become so successful that the project has been expanded to include a specialist physics laboratory on site here at King Edward VI Sheldon Heath Academy.
What is it?
The Physics Factory Project is a grass roots movement that aims to take action on the decline of physics in British schools and universities with its resulting damage to Britain's competitiveness in a technological world.
Objectives:
- To promote and provide excellence in continuing professional development for Physics teachers
- To offer tuition to GCSE students and to increase the numbers studying A level Physics.
"We were taught very well! The experiments were great! Much better than reading out of books."
