Ogden Trust Physics Education Grants: can it pay for a STEM workshop?

Short answer

Cannot pay for a workshop

Ended

The funder states its own physics education grants scheme is discontinued and all funding now goes through central programmes (chiefly free teacher CPD), so there is no grant left for a school to spend on a bought-in workshop.
