Established by Sir Peter Ogden in 1999, we are a charitable trust that exists to promote the teaching and learning of physics. We do this by enabling innovative physics teaching to take place in, and collaboratively between, schools, often forging links to universities. We also address the shortage of physics teachers in the UK by funding programmes that encourage young graduates to go into teaching. 

Our Mission
The Ogden Trust aims to increase the uptake of physics for all at post-16, particularly for those from under-represented groups, through:
•	Supporting physics teaching; and
•	Supporting students to develop physics identity.

The priority audiences for the Trust include teachers without a physics background, teachers and students in remote rural areas or in areas of social deprivation and students on Free School Meals.

The Programme Management Team at The Ogden Trust oversees the development, implementation, and coordination of initiatives aimed at promoting innovative physics teaching and learning. They manage various programmes that support teachers and students, especially those in underserved areas, and work to encourage the recruitment of new physics teachers. The team ensures the effective delivery of these programmes, forging links between schools and universities, and monitoring their impact to align with the Trust’s mission of increasing physics uptake at post-16 education levels.

The Teaching and Learning Team at The Ogden Trust focuses on supporting and enhancing the quality of physics education. They provide coaching and resources for teachers, especially those without a background in physics, and work to foster collaboration between schools and universities. The team is instrumental in addressing the shortage of qualified physics teachers by mentoring and encouraging graduates to enter teaching, with a special emphasis on aiding teachers and students in underrepresented and underserved areas.
