A day’s visit would normally consist of four workshops (the exceptions being BIG Maths and GCSE Revision), each of up to one hour’s duration, and these can be mixed and matched from the range that we offer. Please explore the links for more details of these.

Visits are usually delivered by a team of two staff or students, although we may on occasion bring more. Please view the School of Physical Sciences Outreach DBS policy to read our policy on DBS checks for Maths, Physics and Chemistry Outreach staff and students who work with children and young people.
