Science workshops:

My workshops last from 1 to 1.5 hours depending on your timetable.

Up to 30 pupils per class. Every pupil gets 'hands-on experience'.

There must be a member of the school's staff present throughout the session.

I can do up to 3 in a day but some combinations may not be possible - contact me for details.

My background:

My name is Paul Newham. I have been working in the field of science & technology education for over 30 years and have been delivering workshops in primary schools for over 15 years. I was based at the South London Science & Technology Centre in Camberwell for 26 years and set up the 'Technology Shop' there. Following the closure of the SLSTC I have now relocated to Ivydale Primary School and run the shop service and deliver workshops to schools anywhere within the M25.
