These are a series of free workshops which have been designed for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 learners who are educated outside the mainstream school system to enable access to practical science experiments. There are two upcoming workshops: Particle Physics on Thursday 18th April 2024 and Astrophysics on Wednesday 8th May 2024. On each workshop day, there is a practical experiment element for the older siblings (the Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 learners) in one room, and for their younger siblings (the Key Stage 2 learners) & parents, a subject related activity in a different room. These Home Educated workshops are primarily aimed at higher key stage learners, with an option, depending on demand, for younger siblings to attend. If your child has special educational needs, please do contact us directly ([email protected]) as we will assess on a case-by-case basis.

Please note that unfortunately, we cannot accommodate EYFS or Key Stage 1 learners at these workshops.

There is a non-refundable £5 per family charge for these workshops, which allows up to two adults and four children to attend. Funds raised will go towards increasing the teaching materials and resources for the Home Educated Children's workshops across the different areas of the subject (Astro, Particle and Nuclear Physics).
