Anthony Waterhouse Fellowship

If you are a teacher, and have an idea about physics teaching that you'd like to develop, the Anthony Waterhouse Fellowship can help.

Who can apply

Practising teachers working in a UK secondary school or college catering for students aged 11 to 19.

The grant is £2,000, in two payments, plus up to an additional £1,500 that you can use for:

travel expenses
materials and software
services that will help you develop your idea into something other teachers can use

We will also support you with contacts to physics education researchers and our network of experienced teachers.

Applications are currently closed. Information on how to apply will be added here when the next round of applications opens.

Please email [email protected] with 'Anthony Waterhouse Fellowship Application' in the subject line for further information.

Jonny Berliner developed resources to use in the classroom using the medium of song to help students learn and retain information.
Rosalind Jack examined the link between teaching physics in the context of technology and business and students taking up the subject after 16.
Alan McKeegan investigated the effect of peer mentoring on Y11 and Y9 pupils with a special focus on pupil premium students.

We are extremely grateful to Helen Parsons (Anthony Waterhouse’s sister) for generously endowing the Anthony Waterhouse Fellowship.
