Using digital tools across the primary curriculum September 16th - October 7th 4pm - 5.30pm

This course addresses the mandatory Digital Competence Framework (DCF) as a cross-curricular responsibility under the Curriculum for Wales. It targets the critical transition from "troubleshooting" basic ICT issues to implementing "transformational pedagogy." By empowering teachers to move beyond tokenistic technology use, the course ensures that digital tools are integrated as pedagogical drivers that enhance specific Areas of Learning and Experience (AoLEs). The goal is to foster "purposeful integration" where learners move from using given resources to strategically "choosing and selecting the right tool for the task." For more information go here.

Physics at Work 2026 Tuesday 15th to Thursday 17th September, 9:00-12:05 and 13:00-16:05

In 2026, the Cavendish will hosted the 42nd annual Physics at Work Exhibition at the Ray Dolby Centre, Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge.

Physics at Work aims to show 14-16yr olds the variety of careers to which study in Physics can lead and the range of practical problems that physics can be used to solve. This event is open to all schools and is free.

The exhibition is run in a similar way each year, based upon interaction between active scientific researchers and students. This will help to inform and spread the excitement of modern physics research to students who will soon be making career and examination choices, and is a vital component in encouraging the next generation of scientists.

The Physics at Work Exhibition runs over three days, with two sessions on each day. This event is centred around approximately 20 exhibitors and is held at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. Some of the exhibitors are from research groups within the Cavendish Laboratory and the others are from industry, including companies such as Rolls-Royce Plc., Domino Printing Services and the AWE.

Each half-day session typically has a capacity for about 450 students. The students are split into small groups of around 25 and are accompanied by a teacher as they follow a route defined by the organisers. Each small group, with its teacher, visits six exhibits over a period of about three hours, including a short break halfway through. Each exhibit last 20 minutes and usually consists of a short presentation, practical demonstrations, an opportunity for hands-on involvement and time for asking questions. An online booklet of information is provided to support the exhibition, allowing teachers to bring ideas back into their lessons later in the year. This structured approach has developed over time and allows the students to engage thoroughly with the science on display.

The Physics at Work Exhibition is an integral part of the Cavendish Laboratory's outreach and engagement activities, funded by the Department of Physics, Institute of Physics, and generous donations

Thanks to a generous legacy, we are able to offer support schools with regards to the cost of travel and lesson cover.  Please contact Dr Nicki Humphrey-Baker if you have any questions.

World Teachers’ Day 5th October

World Teachers’ Day is held annually on 5 October to celebrate all teachers around the globe. It commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which sets benchmarks regarding the rights and responsibilities of teachers, and standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions. The Recommendation concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel was adopted in 1997 to complement the 1966 Recommendation by covering teaching personnel in higher education. World Teachers’ Day has been celebrated since 1994.

It is a day to celebrate how teachers are transforming education but also to reflect on the support they need to fully deploy their talent and vocation, and to rethink the way ahead for the profession globally. (Picture© UNESCO/Erika Pineros). More information here

M1: (17:00) David Farley, Institute of Physics - "Developing and Supporting New Teachers of Post 16 Physics"

Starting to teach post 16 physics can be a daunting prospect. It often falls to experienced colleagues to help coach colleagues who are at the start of their post 16 journey. Time however is short, and coaching can often be reduced to prep-room chats about content and teaching order. This session is designed to help make coaching time more effective.

M2: (18:00) Dr David Richardson MBE, Clifton College Bristol - "The Wonder of Waves'

This specialized teacher CPD workshop, delivered by Dr  David Richardson, Clifton College, Bristol equips educators with powerful pedagogical strategies to confidently deliver the GCSE syllabus. The session focuses on breaking down complex concepts like transverse and longitudinal waves, frequency equations, and the electromagnetic spectrum into easily digestible classroom explanations. 

M3: (19:00) Dr Marie Gorman, Sussex University -  "Lone Mathematical Genius or Conceptual Teamplayer: Training the Next Generation of Scientists"

Are students mathematically or conceptually driven in their approach to physics? How do teamwork experiences influence this?I will introduce the CLASS survey and research on what student's beliefs about studying physics entails, challenges with teamwork and how as educators we can encourage students to be self-reflective, aware, teamplayers and tackle problems from a variety of angles.

T2: (18:00) Dr Mark Walley, Chester University - "Physics, why should we be so bothered?"
When a student asks us about the purpose of what we're teaching them what do we say? Do we believe that what we teach is genuinely useful? Do we think that by teaching physics we have improved both career opportunities and the chances of lifelong engagement with physics?

T3: (19:00) Dr Kevin O'Keeffe, Swansea University - "From Ultrafast Lasers to Student Projects: Modern Optics in Physics Education"

Optics is a subject that naturally spans fundamental physics, modern research, and practical experimentation. This talk will describe how these different aspects are brought together within undergraduate physics teaching.

Despite our ever-deepening understanding of the physical universe, we have yet to reach a consensus on the nature of time: does it flow like a river, carrying us along, or does it flow past us? What is the meaning of "now", the ever-shifting boundary between the future and the past? 

W2: (18:00) Dr Sarah Roberts, Swansea University “Connecting Classrooms with the Cosmos: Modern Astronomy, Real Data, and Outreach”

Modern astronomy is undergoing a revolution, with new telescopes and instruments transforming our understanding of the universe. This talk explores how these advances can be translated into meaningful classroom experiences.Focusing on opportunities such as robotic telescopes, citizen science, and outreach programmes, I will demonstrate how students can interact with real data and even contribute to authentic scientific investigations.
