He helps to promote high quality teaching at the school and beyond, running an evening course each term aimed at PGCE students and non-specialist teachers of physics from the local area. He has run teachers’ conferences and technicians’ days that are becoming an annual event, and sessions for local pupils as part of an independent–state school partnership. His outreach work includes public lectures, star gazing events and exhibitions. As well as taking students to the British Physics Olympiad, each year he organises the St Peter’s Physics Olympics for Year 8 pupils, attracting entries from schools across the north east.
