Sam Holyman , a Chemistry teacher from Aylesford School in Warwick, shares her experience so far of receiving a Partnership Grant and the impact it has had on the teaching of physics within the school.

The Partnership Grants scheme is designed to help all schools access funding to carry out an investigative long term research project in collaboration with a STEM partner. Read more on how the new streamlined application form and the various types of support are going to help you secure this funding.

Students from Northfleet Technology College visited Parliament to ask questions and share their exciting research with a mock select committee of MPs, as part of the Tomorrow’s climate scientists programme funded by the Royal Society’s Partnership Grants scheme.

Through the Royal Society Partnership Grants scheme, schools are being funded to design and carry out their own STEM research projects together with STEM professionals. This scheme is designed to help students develop crucial skills, ignite their curiosity and open new horizons of future career paths in STEM. Find out more about how you could apply and hear from Craigentinny Primary School and their STEM partners about their Partnership Grants experience working with students to design and construct their own sustainable model city.

Teachers Meryl Batchelder and Mark Swinney from Corbridge Middle School share their Tomorrow’s climate scientists project in which student are studying the impact of heavy rainfall events. The students are developing their STEM skills by investigating solutions based on Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) which can be used to prevent urban flooding.

Wendy Smith, from Earlsdon Primary School, shares about her school’s Tomorrow’s climate scientists project where students are growing living walls indoors and outdoors to explore the impact on learning and wellbeing.

Christine Sneddon shares her school's Partnership Grants experience and the skill development opportunities her students have had by carrying out this investigative project. The blog also describes how the project was adapted in light of school closures.

Kathryn McLaughlin shares the impact of her grant on students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Dr Mari Chikvaidze shares the impact of her Partnership Grant project, where students investigated if they could design medicinal drugs using computers and augmented reality (AR).
