Calling all Independent and Secondary Schools
How do we encourage our students to choose science options? OISSP has developed inspiring, projects to support science in schools. Oxfordshire pupils are being offered funded opportunities: to explore scientific solutions to climate change; to work on live science initiatives; to celebrate their scientific knowledge and understanding; to meet leading edge scientific experts and to learn about the breadth of science based career possibilities.

‘Earth from the Air’
An astonishing exhibition which contemplates our fragile world. Year 8 pupils are invited to explore the science responses to issues of sustainability revealed through Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s breath-taking large-scale aerial photographs. OISSP has arranged free transport this term for pupils and teachers to visit ‘Earth from the Air’ at the Oxford castle site.

School fuel bills continue to rise. SEEP-2 Energy projects have the solutions.
The carbon footprint and energy costs of Oxfordshire schools are of genuine concern to site managers and bursars. Following the success of the Schools Energy Efficiency Project (SEEP-2) headed by Oxford Brookes University EiE, Year 9 pupils are now also getting involved in developing project based solutions for their schools.
