Fully funded school visits worth £800 are offered for students, teachers, and families to experience a Royal Institution Science in Schools day.
To be eligible, applicants need to be:
- From a state-funded primary or secondary school, academy, or maintained school anywhere in the UK (shows can be adapted for ages 4–7, 7–11, or 11–14).
- A member of the school staff who is involved in teaching a STEM subject in the school.
- Able to demonstrate that their students would not otherwise have access to this opportunity.
Priority will be given to schools in disadvantaged areas, with a low IDACI rank and high proportion of students eligible for free school meals.
The grant covers the full package of:
- Two performances of a school science show designed to support the curriculum at KS1, KS2 or KS3.
- A CPD session for teachers, using interactive demonstrations to build the skills and confidence to inspire children with practical science.
- An after school or evening community show for a family audience, to generate support for science in the home. The community show can also be ticketed to raise funds for future activities at the school.
All activities funded would need to be completed on the same day, on any date between 1 October 2025 and 30 September 2026.
To manage the increase in demand for school visits, grants will be awarded in three rounds during the 2025-2026 academic year, based on the dates of the applicant’s preferred visit.
