The Abingdon Science Partnership (ASP) works with community and national organisations and all sectors of education to support high quality STEM learning and experiences for all.
The ASP is a main supporter of the annual Abingdon ATOM Festival of Science and Technology; administers lead school status for the Institute of Physics; coordinates the Abingdon Partnership of Schools; and leads Saturday Science Clubs on behalf of Science Oxford. The ASP has developed a regular programme of STEM workshops and long-term investigation activities to enhance STEM learning in local primary schools. A-level and GCSE extension workshops and research projects with academic partners are a key feature of ASP’s work with other secondary schools, as well as offering classes in GCSE Astronomy and other enrichment opportunities, such as being a Student Ambassador for the ATOM Festival.
A range of online resources for all ages can also be found here.
