Welcome from Chair and Chief Executive
The schools and teachers that we work with across our programmes always impress us with their dedication, enthusiasm and commitment to inspiring the next generation. Confident, engaging delivery of physics in the classroom will help to enable young learners to understand how the world works and how they can contribute to it.
This year we have joined forces with STEM Learning and the Association for Science Education in a new national Science CPD Partnership, funded by the Department for Education. The Partnership, led by STEM Learning, is bringing together our collective expertise to improve teachers’ access to career-long, science-specific continuing professional development (CPD). As part of the partnership, we are delivering Subject Knowledge for Physics Teaching (SKPT) CPD to support non specialist teachers of physics. We are working with a fantastic network of physics coaches across England and have a SKPT team within Teacher Support to build this growing programme.
We remain committed to our strategy for 2021–26, reiterating our mission to enhance the teaching and learning of physics. To help us achieve this, we have expanded our network of staff, consultants and physics coaches. It seems inevitable that the coming year will present new challenges for many that we work with, but we will continue to develop our programmes to make them accessible to those who find themselves most disenfranchised from physics and the opportunities it can bring.
We are looking forward to the next year and will work hard to develop our programmes and put our strategic objectives into practical action.

The Trust is working hard to deliver its strategy for 2021–26, which was officially launched last year. It reiterates our determination to enhance the teaching and learning of physics, and consolidates our commitment to challenging stereotypes, expanding access and opportunities, and making physics matter to more people – especially those who are most disenfranchised.
Our programme of teacher support and our continuing professional development (CPD) portfolio has expanded significantly this year and the Trust is now part of a national
Science CPD Partnership which brings it into formal alliance with STEM Learning and the Association for Science Education. With funding from the Department for Education, the Science CPD Partnership is bringing together our collective expertise to improve teachers’ access to career-long, sciencespecific CPD.
Within the CPD Partnership, the Trust is delivering a programme of Subject Knowledge for Physics Teaching (SKPT) for non-specialist teachers. Physics teacher recruitment and retention remains a national concern – supporting teachers to improve

their physics subject knowledge and
confidence helps to positively change the physics learning landscape for students and will hopefully encourage teachers to remain in the profession. SKPT is an exciting addition to our Teacher Support programme and our CPD portfolio.
In our School Partnerships programme, we are building our efforts to work with more schools, established education collaborations and across regions to help bring about real and sustained change in physics education. With the growth of more education trusts and multi-academies we have adapted our programmes to ensure we can effectively work with these groups of schools.
“It’s probably fair to say that I don’t think I’d be a teacher if The Ogden Trust didn’t exist. I wouldn’t have really known how to become one if I hadn’t met the Ogden Outreach Officer at my university; and I may well have left the profession if I hadn’t had the Ogden Trafford Partnership to speak to. I think a lot of the stuff The Ogden Trust does has an impact beyond what can be measured.”
Dan Walker
Didsbury Partnership Co-ordinator (2020– ) Teach Physics Intern (2015)
~~”~~
Whilst schools and teachers remain our principal focus, we are supporting teaching, learning and physics opportunities that go beyond the boundaries of the classroom. Our relationship with universities has evolved as funding for the Outreach Officer programme comes to an end; however, through a growing university network, we are continuing to support physics outreach and enabling wider access to university physics.
Fundamental to our strategy and to our programmes and provision is equity, diversity and inclusion. We are addressing
any systemic barriers in our programmes and events; ongoing care and increased awareness and understanding is helping us to mitigate barriers to participation, and ensures we take a proactive, strategic approach to inclusion, equity and accessibility. Our new accessibility and inclusion advisory panel, which includes people with expertise and lived experience, is now meeting regularly and advising the Trust on how to make our programmes more inclusive.
Priority actions
We will be working to grow The Ogden Trust profile and the reach of our programmes to enable more teachers to benefit from the support and opportunities that we provide.
We will be developing the evidence-base for our programmes and aiming to share our findings, practice and expertise more widely.
We are looking at ways to embed and progress inclusion and diversity across the organisation, dismantling any barriers that may exist and ensuring we provide an open and welcoming space both within the Trust and across our programmes and events.
Public benefit
The Trustees have assessed the disclosures made in the Trustees’ report and consider that these sufficiently detail the significant activities undertaken in order to carry out the charity’s aims for the public benefit. When planning the charity’s activities, the Trustees have given regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The Trust’s programmes in physics education are beneficial as they are for the advancement of science and education. The majority of the programmes are open application and are therefore available to the majority of schools and teachers in England, meeting the criteria that they must benefit a sufficient section of the public.

School partnerships
The Ogden School Partnerships programme operates from Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) through to the end of secondary education, addressing the transitions at each key stage. The programme works predominantly with local clusters of schools and established collaborations, such as multi-academy trusts. However, our Tameside Regional Partnership is now wellestablished, and we will continue to evaluate and evolve this place-based partnership approach.
Our partnerships work across the phases to encourage sharing of ideas, resources and expertise. The Trust encourages and facilitates schools to focus on:
-
teacher professional development to help improve the teaching of physics; inspiring and committed teachers, secure in their subject knowledge, can inspire their students to take physics further.
-
the wider learning environment, including support for technicians and teaching assistants, and investment in physics learning spaces and resources, all which help to develop and embed a culture of science.
-
enrichment through family and community group engagement, and networking with local employers to provide a range of broader physics experiences for pupils and enhance science capital.
Partnerships receive four years of funding with a further year of transition support to foster sustained partnership activity. A time buy-out for partnership co-ordinators facilitates the initial partnership set-up, coordination and reporting, ensuring a firm foundation from which partnerships can build.
There were 111 funded partnerships in the programme in 2021–22, involving 865 schools (699 primary, 166 secondary).
Our Ogden partnership has allowed us to build a collaborative teaching community in which non-specialist primary teachers have gained a real confidence in the delivery of the physical sciences. The enrichment opportunities offered within our community have increased science capital; and science, in particular physics, has been made more relevant and more accessible to the students and their parents. Joining The Ogden Trust has raised the profile of physics and a lot more students are seeing science-related careers that they would like to pursue far earlier in their learning journey.
Everton McClymont Lewisham Partnership (2020– ) Bonus Pastor Catholic College
Twenty-three of these partnerships officially launched at the start of the 2021 academic year. In October 2021, more than 30 partnership co-ordinators gathered in Stratford-upon-Avon to meet the Ogden team and counterparts from other school partnerships. This meeting was the third national induction meeting for partnerships, and the first significant in-person activity for teachers offered by the Trust in two years. Co-ordinators from the 2021 partnership cohort were joined by Year 2 partnership co-ordinators who shared their experience and ideas. The meeting provided a thorough understanding of the programme, and advice on how to develop efficient processes, deliverable plans and a sustainable partnership.
Trustees’ report and financial statements 2022 | 5
More than 82 per cent (19/23) of our new partnerships took a time buy-out (limited funding for half a day a week off timetable to lead the partnership). This is an increase on the previous year and an important step towards building effective and sustainable partnerships.
Our network of regional representatives has been actively recruiting for new partnerships in rural and coastal areas, and in areas of social deprivation. In these areas, young people may face one or more barriers to participation in science including lack of local opportunity, lack of local jobs and lack of role models in science and scientific careers.
Joanna organised a partnership egg drop challenge.
As partnership co-ordinator the time buy-out has been invaluable – it has helped me to plan, lead and build the partnership in our first year, in spite of inevitable challenges along the way, and it has helped me to set the foundations for delegation in year two. It has been an absolute honour to have this time – my confidence has grown, and I have developed my leadership skills. Leading the partnership can be hard work but it is definitely worth it. I feel lucky to be part of such a supportive network and it has made me fall in love with physics!
Joanna Burton Bletchley Partnership (2021- ) Chestnuts Primary School
Partnerships recruited for 2021–22 were assessed and considered under various indicators of disadvantage. Twenty-eight per cent of students across our new year one partnerships were eligible for free school meals; recruitment of new partnerships with greater than average Free School Meals (FSM6%) increased by eight per cent on the 2020–21 intake.
More than 120 teachers and colleagues attended our two-day partnership conference to learn from expert practitioners and to share ideas, enthusiasm and expertise. The theme for the conference was space and ‘wow how now’ was at the heart of the sessions – looking at how students can be engaged with a ‘wow’, whilst understanding the ‘how’ of the science and the ‘now’ of real-life applications and careers. Delegates appreciated “the buzz and passion in the room for the common goal of ensuring inclusion and engagement for all in physics capital.”
To ensure we could work effectively with the increasing number of multi-academy trusts and larger federations of schools, we ran a pilot programme for established collaboration partnerships . After a successful pilot period, this was formalised in 2021. The first round of open applications took place in 2021–22 and 12 new established collaboration partnerships will be starting in September 2022; they will join our pilot partnerships which will be entering their third year.

Students from the Ogden Ark Partnership visited Culham to get a better understanding of real-world fusion physics.
One of the main aims of our Ogden Ark Partnership is to increase the number of students taking physics at GCSE, A-level and at university, particularly for under-privileged and under-represented students. We have been able to run CPD during our network days and have discovered lots of talent and knowledge within our network! We are now trying to capture and utilise this talent to empower our A-level physics teachers to have more impact in their schools.
The Tameside Regional Partnership
launched in 2021 and after a difficult start with lockdowns and COVID restrictions, it is now establishing firm roots in the area with increased engagement from schools and momentum building. Under the leadership of two Ogden-funded co-ordinators, there are now 28 primary schools actively and regularly involved in the partnership; they are divided into three local clusters so they can more easily work together to achieve their agreed priorities and objectives.
Across the primary schools there is focus on transition, science capital and family/community engagement in
We have used Ogden funding to start a STEM club which is now self-running and self-perpetuating: Year 12 students pick up where the Year 13 students have left off and continue to build the project. Students are learning lots of skills and it has given them great content for their UCAS statements.
Around 50 per cent of the current ARK Year 12 (2021) physics A-level cohort are applying for a physics course at university and others are going for engineering and computer science. We are really pleased to see our students continuing their STEM journey. Our Ogden partnership helps us to raise awareness and understanding of careers and opportunities from physics, as well as raising the profile of physics across the Academy and hopefully encouraging more students to take physics further.

science learning; 10 schools achieved the Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) this year with the support of Ogden funding. Secondary schools have been more reticent in their involvement with the partnership, however, engagement is increasing and more schools are showing interest in the CPD and resources available to enhance secondary physics provision. Sixth form ambassador programmes are in development and will help to build links and opportunities across the phases, supporting transition and subject knowledge.
Across the Tameside Partnership, primary teachers have been taking part

in Ogden CPD, securing their knowledge, pedagogy and increasing their classroom confidence. Teachers from 42 primary schools have taken part in Phizzi CPD in Tameside this year – following this CPD we conservatively estimate that these ideas, learning and resources could reach more than 9,000 children across those schools.
Of the 141 areas in Tameside, 11 fall within the most deprived five per cent nationally and a further eighteen within the most deprived 10 per cent nationally. In total, 13.4 per cent of Tameside residents live in income-deprived households.*
Professional development
Ogden continuing professional development (CPD) is an important component of the partnerships programme with development opportunities available for teachers from EYFS through to KS4 (Year 11).
Our early years CPD, Science Talk, is now an online programme to make it easier for more teachers and teaching assistants to attend. One hundred and forty-two early years practitioners took part in a Science Talk session in 2021–22, each participating school received resource cards to support the practical hands-on activities in their setting, developing communication and language skills through science enquiry.
In the academic year 2021–22, 114 Phizzi Light and Sound CPD sessions were held for primary schools in our partnerships. The events reached 745 teachers from 520 schools, meaning that more than 74 per cent of our primary partnership schools took part in the Light and Sound CPD. Overall, on a 1-10 scale, teachers attending the sessions showed a 2.9 point increase in confidence in working scientifically and a 3.2 point rise in their knowledge of light and sound.
Phizzi CPD
To ensure that progression continues from primary into secondary, teachers in the first year of a partnership can take part in KS3 Physics – a CPD programme for non-specialist teachers which focuses on the key physics concepts and pedagogical approaches. One hundred and seventythree secondary teachers from 85 schools signed up for termly-twilight CPD sessions which covered the topics of forces, waves and electricity. The sessions were run by regional mentors and helped to build local networks of practice. The sessions provided engaging and challenging classroom approaches, and each topic included a supporting box of resources and books so that teachers could easily take the new ideas straight into the classroom.
The biggest impact within the partnership has come from our development of the physics curriculum through KS3 to KS4, and in raising the profile of physics right through from KS2 with the Phizzi CPD, which has provided our partner primary teachers with more confidence in not just delivering physics, but also inspiring our young people.

School culture
Building a culture of science within schools, with positive environments for physics learning and supportive and collaborative teaching communities is important to developing the physics learning landscape. The wider learning environment, including support for technicians and teaching assistants, and investment in physics learning spaces and resources, is an integral part of our partnership programme.
After a successful first year, each school partnership with more than one primary school has the opportunity to open a Phiz Lab, creating a primary science environment to support teachers and engage pupils. The Phiz Lab programme is part of our ongoing strategy to help raise the profile of science, enhance pupil science capital and develop working scientifically skills.
There are now 53 Phiz Labs in schools across England and 24 Phiz Lab on Wheels (a dedicated science trolley equipped with resources to support classroom physics and STEM clubs in schools that do not have the space for a classroom lab). Seven of these Phiz Labs have been officially opened since September 2021, with grants awarded to a further seven schools. Funding has been agreed for more than 50 additional Phiz Labs on Wheels.
Technicians in secondary schools in Ogden partnerships have access to support from two Ogden technician leads. As well as sharing news and information across the Ogden network, their roles typically involve visits to schools to deliver on-site workshop training days and bespoke physics equipment training.
Enrichment
At the time of writing, over 90 per cent of our partnerships in Years 1–5 have reported on their partnership programmes; a total of 790 activities/events took place in 2021–22, the highest ever reported, with a spend of £148,327. Although some online/hybrid
We opened our Phiz Lab in May 2022. It is used for lessons by St Peter’s pupils and those from partnership schools. The lab hosts staff professional development and a range of community science events have also taken place.
Pupil science ambassadors helped us plan the Phiz Lab and our current team are helping us to raise the profile of science within our school community. They deliver playground science activities at lunchtime, hand out resources and support children to complete enquiry-based science. The lab also hosts weekly science club sessions which are oversubscribed. A science spectacular day organised for October 2022 will hopefully reach 135 Year 2 children from across the partnership and a further 350 children from other schools.
The lab has been a huge success and has really helped to promote a love for science in our school and the wider community that we will continue to build upon in the future.

activities have taken place, partnerships have been returning to face-to-face interactions and have reached a reported 172,855 participants including students, families, teachers, technicians, teaching assistants and the wider community. This year’s events have seen a significant increase in family involvement with parent/ carer participation almost doubling.
Partnership activities are reported across five categories: enrichment, CPD, working with families, attainment and careers awareness. Enrichment events comprise 37 per cent of partnership activities and include (amongst others) transition events (between primary and secondary schools), science fairs, science libraries, science ambassador schemes, stargazing nights and space camps. Post-pandemic, family learning nights are featuring prominently in partnership activities, and we have this year seen a taskmaster event, a physics escape room and mastermind.

Twenty-four legacy partnerships of a possible 29 reported on activities supported by the Trust this year. These partnerships ran 106 events for 451 schools totalling 21,049 participants.
We have used our Ogden funding for activities that will be sustainable once the partnership enters its legacy phase – our sixth form science ambassadors support our primary CREST awards; and we have developed science libraries that we share across the partnership schools. Each year we select pupils to be our primary science leaders. They help to deliver assemblies, run competitions and update our science displays. We now host our own end of year science awards, recognising the fantastic achievements of our students.
We are also introducing space camps across the partnership; if every school runs a space camp we will have around 50 events each year which would be fantastic. We have already held two Year 3 camps which included a whole day of space related activities, an evening of stargazing followed by a space film, and then in the morning a celebration assembly hosted by our science leaders.

Schools are encouraged to work towards a sustainable partnership, developing activities, resources and ideas that can be continued once the full partnership funding has ended. The Trust encourages and supports activities that develop students’ science capital, increase careers awareness and enhance engagement with families and the local community.
Secondary schools in current or legacy partnerships are eligible to apply for funding to support students to attend trips to CERN. The funds are directed to support those students would otherwise be least able to participate, due to their financial circumstances.
Trips to CERN are educational and inspirational. As well as giving students (and their accompanying teachers) a greater understanding of the particle physics involved in world-class research, CERN showcases a range of careers connected to physics and students can use their experience to inform future education and career choices. This year, seven CERN grants totally £6,190 were successfully awarded,
with trips taking place throughout the 2022–23 academic year – 156 students are expected to take part in these visits, with approximately 60 of them receiving direct support to enable their participation.
Priority actions
We will continue to review and evaluate our partnership model to ensure we can work effectively with education trusts and local clusters of schools. The effectiveness of our regional place-based model will also be monitored.
Our Science Talk CPD for EYFS will be relaunched in October 2022, using picture books to engage young learner in hands-on investigations to help them understand the world around them. The updated Science Talk provision will embed ideas to support inclusion and accessibility.
We will be moving to a new partnership transition model – as partnership end their funded period and move into their legacy phase, they will be realigned with our Teacher Support programme to ensure they continue to receive active support and access to opportunities.
We will be piloting technician training days in partnership with CLEAPSS (one day for beginners and another for experienced technicians) to further their skills and support them with difficult equipment.

Community and connection
The Didsbury Partnership (2020– ) is a large local cluster located in and around the south of Manchester. It comprises mostly secondary schools and sixth-form colleges, a number of which are situated in some of the most deprived urban areas of the country.
As a lone physicist at the newly opened Didsbury High School in 2019, Dan Walker felt very isolated and although put off by the drive across town after a long day at school, he attended a meeting for the Ogden Trafford Partnership, which “…made my day. It made my term really, because it was the first time I got to sit and talk with physicists for a very long time.” It is this feeling of mutual understanding and support which Dan has since sought to create in the Didsbury Partnership, building a diverse community of teachers all willing to share and contribute.
This aspect of connection with likeminded individuals was particularly important during the pandemic, as home-working exacerbated feelings of isolation. Having a forum to share teaching tips and good practice through formal CPD and informal interactions has also been invaluable for many of the teachers. Dan ascribes many improvements in his teaching and schemes of work to ideas gained through partnership CPD, resources highlighted at the Ogden conference and from just talking to other physicists at meetings.
Other strands of the Ogden programme have helped to establish and nurture the partnership. Many initial contacts with schools were brokered by the Regional Representative; a number of teachers from previous partnerships are involved,
bringing a wealth of experience; and collaborations with the Physics Engagement Champion (formerly Ogden Outreach Officer) at Manchester University have been extremely valuable in opening up opportunities for pupils.
The sense of being part of something bigger and the external validation of being trusted to lead an Ogden partnership has bestowed a feeling of confidence on Dan as the co-ordinator, giving him a stronger voice within his science department and more widely throughout the school. It has also allowed Didsbury High to work with their wider community of neighbouring schools in a friendly and positive way to support each other for the benefit of all.
The Didsbury Partnership has been able to build on the legacy of previous partnerships and Ogden programmes demonstrating the importance of the diverse range of support and opportunities the Trust provides, and the value of retaining experienced and enthusiastic physics advocates within the Ogden network. When different strands link together to become wraparound support, the benefits are multiplied.
“I think that the Trust needs to know that what they’re doing is invaluable. It’s absolutely fabulous!”
David Woolley Head of Didsbury High School
Evaluating and understanding our partnerships and their local impact is important. This case study has been produced by Dr Alison Rivett, Evaluation Consultant, who has been working with the Didsbury Partnership to better understand their objectives, processes and achievements.

Teacher support
Our teacher support strand of work has significantly expanded this past year, with more programmes available and a larger team to deliver these initiatives. We continue to support primary teachers with the delivery of practical primary science, whilst for secondary teachers our programme of support is evolving to ensure that all teachers of physics, including the increasing number without physics specialism, have the knowledge, skills and confidence to deliver inspiring and engaging classroom physics.
Our teacher support helps us build meaningful relationships with teachers throughout their careers; starting with Teach Physics internships for undergraduates who might be considering a career in teaching and continuing through to the Teacher Network which offers career-long support for all teachers of physics and primary science leads.
An online collection of resources is also freely available to support the delivery of physics in the classroom, these resources are mainly aimed at primary physics but also offer ideas and resources throughout the key stages.
Teach Physics
Forty-two Teach Physics interns completed placements at 33 schools in summer 2022. In their evaluation, the interns all said they would recommend the scheme and the majority indicated that they were more likely to enter teaching upon graduation or later in their careers (one intern did not complete their evaluation survey). Seventeen per cent of the interns who responded said that they will be doing teacher training after graduation, with five per cent having already signed up to start in 2022. Most of the Teach Physics applicants were in their second or third year at university and had previously attended non-selective state schools.
In January 2021, the Trust’s accessibility and inclusion panel reviewed the Teach Physics programme. As a result of their recommendations three online pre-
placement sessions were introduced to better prepare interns for their time in school. These included sessions to support applicants in their understanding of effective pedagogy, inclusive practices in teaching and teaching techniques to engage learners.
“Absolutely incredible experience, I would highly recommend… I really enjoyed the chance to teach a lesson, organise a physics careers workshop and a university-life session. It really increased my confidence and has made me feel that I will be a good teacher if I decide to go into teaching. It has also been a really good opportunity to see what teaching is really like and has opened my eyes to some of the challenges teachers face. Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone even vaguely interested in teaching as it is a very enjoyable and enlightening experience.”

In 2021, a destination survey was sent to a total of 248 previous interns. We received 81 responses which showed that 64 per cent were still in education, either doing their undergraduate studies, postgraduate education or doing PhDs; 15 per cent were in teaching or teacher training and 17 per cent were not in teaching; 4 per cent had previously entered the teaching profession but subsequently left.
Early career
The Trust supports early career teachers of physics from their initial training through to their fifth-year post qualification. To support students as they head into teacher training, the Trust this year launched a series of subject knowledge sessions – Subject Knowledge Foundations for Teaching Physics. Delivered online, the sessions covered six core physics topics, working
14 | The Ogden Trust
through the conceptual ideas that students and teachers sometimes struggle with. Thirty-three students took part.
We also worked in partnership with the National Association of School-Based Teacher Trainers (NASBTT) to provide a series of online sessions, which were attended by 125 trainee teachers.
Sixty-nine teachers signed up for our Teaching Core Physics programme, which provides half termly coaching/mentoring sessions in local peer groups for teachers in their first or second year of teaching. Thirtyone teachers in their third, fourth or fifth year of teaching were accepted onto Developing Physics Specialism which provides bespoke mentoring sessions and professional development support.
In Summer 2022, 40 early career and trainee teachers attended our inaugural Early Career Festival which provided a programme of CPD, workshops and lectures.
“It was genuinely the most useful two days of my teaching journey so far and I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity.”
“The Ogden Trust has been extremely beneficial in providing me with the tools and expertise to enter the physics classroom confident of my knowledge and how to support my students. Being linked with an experienced teacher, who is happy to share advice and resources has been especially useful.”

Subject Knowledge for Physics Teaching
The Trust is now part of a national Science CPD Partnership which is funded by the Department for Education. STEM Learning is leading this new initiative, in partnership with the Association for Science Education and The Ogden Trust, with advice and support from the Institute of Physics, Primary Science Teaching Trust, Royal Society of Biology and Royal Society of Chemistry. The Science CPD Partnership is bringing together this collective expertise to improve teachers’ access to career-long, science-specific continuing professional development. Within this Partnership, the Trust is now delivering a programme of Subject Knowledge for Physics Teaching (SKPT) for non-specialist teachers.
Trustees’ report and financial statements 2022 | 15
To deliver the first SKPT module of blended learning, the Trust worked with a network of physics teachers at 18 hubs schools across England who led participants through their blended learning module for KS3/4 forces. In the summer term, 67 non-specialist teachers signed up and 57 have completed the module to date.
“The delivery of the [SKPT forces] course has been brilliant – the in-person sessions and all the support online has been thought provoking and enabled me to reflect on my current strengths/ weaknesses and to be able to approach improvement head-on.”

The first Physics Futures conference was held as part of the Teacher Network; it offered professional development workshops, insight into latest research and opportunities to share experience and best practice. The conference also provided a forum for teachers to share their own research. Attendance was low as the date had to be changed several times due to COVID.
Primary science
This year, the Trust has delivered its Primary Science Professional Learning (P3L) CPD to 346 teachers and trainee teachers. Elements of the P3L programme have been delivered in partnership with several teacher training organisations, and one full P3L training day was held for 59 practising primary teachers.
Teacher Network
Our Teacher Network currently has more than 1,000 members (including current partnership teachers) and offers regular professional development opportunities. This year, nine secondary physics teachers took part in a visit to the Science and Technologies Facilities Council’s Boulby Underground Laboratory to discover more about the ground-breaking research taking place and how it can be brought into the classroom. A further 19 secondary teachers of physics took part in EinsteinPlus (E+) UK, a three-day immersive professional development programme showcasing resources from the Perimeter Institute, hosted by the University of Oxford and funded (and led) by The Ogden Trust.
“A wonderful experience which will definitely improve the physics education of my students”
“Just amazing. Best CPD I’ve ever been on.”

Teachers in the Network are able to apply for a limited number of education research opportunities to help them build knowledge for themselves and the wider education sector. The Trust offers scholarships for suitable master’s courses and part-time PhD programmes for practising teachers and this year has awarded two grants through this programme. Two practice-based enquiries are also underway.
Senior Teacher Fellowships are awarded to teachers who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to physics

During my Senior Teacher Fellowship, I led a project to deliver primary physics masterclasses to schools in Devon. Sixty Year 12 science ambassadors from Kingsbridge Community College, Brixham Community College, Ivybridge Community College and Devonport High School for Girls were trained to deliver masterclasses. Following a full day’s training from the Royal Institution,
education. As part of the fellowship, teachers plan and implement a physics education project, develop projects that deliver sustainable high-quality physics education to students, develop resources that can be made available to other teacher fellows or partnership schools and develop a plan for the sustainability of the project. This year, we awarded four Senior Teacher Fellowships, which included two projects which are being continued into a second year.
I continued to work with Kingsbridge students to help them prepare their resources and plan their sessions. Across the project, 12 masterclasses were delivered to Year 5 pupils from feeder primary schools; with additional science days run by the newly trained ambassadors.
The primary students involved with the project have experienced a wide and rich variety of exciting physics sessions and the feedback has been universally positive. The Year 12 ambassadors have gained hugely in terms of skills development and have something very significant to talk about on their UCAS applications. Some of the students involved are considering becoming physics teachers.
Delivery of the project was affected by COVID but it has raised the physics capital and the profile of physics in all of the secondary and primary schools involved; and I have created a bank of resources to support others to run a similar programme.

STEM clubs
This year, we have been delivering the STEM Learning STEM Club workshop programme for London secondary schools. More than 100 teachers and technicians have attended the virtual workshops across the year looking at how to start a STEM club, how to ensure a STEM club survives and thrives, and how careers and employability skills can be embedded into STEM clubs. The sessions have been led by experts, and delegates from secondary schools, sixth form colleges and FE colleges from across London have been able to find and share ideas and inspiration.

Resources
Ogden resources are freely available online and include a range of primary and secondary resources for physics teaching and learning, as well as guides to encourage and develop physics in school. Collectively, our resources have been downloaded over 7,000 times over the past 12 months (Sept 2021–August 2022); our working scientifically resources remain the most popular and they have been downloaded more than 2,000 times.
Priority actions
The Trust aims to grow the Teach Physics programme and increase applications for 2023, expanding the programme to include engineering undergraduates. Now that more universities are again hosting in-person career fairs, the Trust will be attending a number of these during the Autumn term to
promote the scheme to both physics and engineering undergraduates. Following a disappointing response rate to our destination survey in 2021, we will revise our follow-up and monitoring process.
We will work to grow the uptake of our early career provision continuing to provide sessions to school centred initial teacher training (SCITT) and subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) courses to help build expertise and confidence in teaching physics from the outset. We are developing our monitoring and evaluation of the programme to ensure we continue to meet and understand the needs of early career teachers.
In the Autumn term 2022, the SKPT waves module will be delivered in 19 hub schools, whilst the electricity module will be launched at three national hubs in London, Birmingham and York. During 2023, matter & space and atomic physics will be available with support from coaches at hub schools; the face-to-face sessions for energy and forces will be delivered from national hubs with support from Ogden teaching and learning coaches.
As part of the Senior Teacher Fellowship programme, defined projects will be made available (by open application) to teachers looking for further physics experience outside of the classrooms. The projects will be devised and developed by the Trust to address identified needs and will then be delivered by a Teacher Fellow.
We will continue to develop our resources to ensure that we contribute to a representative and diverse physics story; we will review and update our current resources to make sure they are easily accessible to anyone using assistive technology and we will raise awareness of these resources on social media following a decline in downloads this year.

Opportunities for all
The Trust is working to ensure that access to physics-related enrichment and future pathways are open to all regardless of socioeconomic constraints. We are expanding and supporting opportunities for universities, employers and community groups to engage with young people, taking physics beyond the classroom and giving an insight into the real-world application of science.
University engagement
The Trust continues to work with physics departments in universities across Great Britain. The Outreach Officer programme provides funding for a fixed three-year period during which time the Trust works with the department to support them to deliver a strategic outreach programme, ideally with the outreach position established as a permanent role.
Seven Ogden outreach officers reached the end of their funding during 2021–22, leaving just two in Ogden-funded posts; one of these will conclude at the end of 2022 and the other in summer 2023. No further Outreach Officer positions will be funded, and the Trust will focus on other support for physics departments to carry out strategic outreach.
The Trust now supports an Outreach Officer Network that is open to all outreach practitioners at universities in Great Britain. We currently have 45 people actively engaged in this network, which meets regularly throughout the year to share practice and improve activities. Members of the network get access to shared training and funding opportunities and can take part in a wide range of physics outreach dialogues, conferences and collaborations.
This year, the Trust launched a new collaborative funding programme to support and facilitate strategic outreach collaboration between university physics departments and to influence positive change in the physics education landscape. Following a hugely competitive application process, the collaborative
As an Ogden Outreach Officer in 2020, I wrote and launched the first outreach and public engagement (OPE) strategy for the department and for the university which now underpins all OPE work we do. This strategy led to our first school outreach programme where we engage young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to show them that continuing to study physics can be a path for them to follow. We have developed our outreach ambassador programme, which this year recruited the highest number of ambassadors ever, and we have won an STFC spark award for our collaborative project with Hertfordshire libraries: ‘Cosmic Curiosity: Stories that Spark the Imagination.’ I was able to share this work with the national and international science communication community at BIG 2022, Belfast and CAP 2022, Sydney.
My Ogden funding finished this year, but I have been promoted to Outreach Manager and my position has been made permanent with talk of widening our team in the coming years. Being part of the Ogden network provides a supportive environment to share and connect with the wider sector as well as giving our department the ability to carry out high quality outreach and public engagement which will impact under-served communities for many years to come.

funding was awarded to Orbyts – a UCL project which will now be rolled out to the universities of of Leicester, Northumbria, Kent, and the Mullard Space Science Laboratory.
The collaborative funding award was announced as part of the inaugural Ogden Outreach Awards which were held at The Royal Society to celebrate physics outreach and recognise the efforts of those involved in developing and delivering it. The awards were launched to recognise and reward efforts in physics outreach from undergraduate ambassadors through to longstanding public engagement projects.
The Ogden Outreach Awards
A pilot programme in Leadership for Outreach and Public Engagement, jointly funded by The Ogden Trust and the Science and Technology Facilities Council finished in December 2021.
Orbyts projects last a minimum of three months and involve regular meetings between pupils and researchers. This interaction with real scientists, positively shifts students’ perceptions of who can be a scientist, dispelling harmful stereotypes; participation in authentic science research increases student confidence and science capital, both of which are widely reported as barriers to science entry.
Since receiving our Ogden award, we have launched a new website and are aiming to implement 12 new projects over two years with a sustainable plan to continue that engagement into year three and beyond. The funding will directly contribute to over 1,700 pupil hours with more than 140 Year 10 and 12 pupils who would otherwise not have access to this level of repeated intervention.
Dr Mark Fuller
Orbyts Head of Evaluation and Impact UCL
These new initiatives are part of efforts to build a broader more sustainable engagement with university physics departments and physics outreach professionals, developing a collaborative and long-term commitment to projects that will have a more profound and lasting impact.
Priority actions
Eighteen people from eighteen institutions took part in the programme with 91 per cent of participants concluding that they felt more confident leading outreach and public engagement because of the programme; 82 per cent felt the programme had developed their knowledge and skills in leading outreach and public engagement; with 82 per cent also reporting that they had made substantial progress developing their leadership approach. Recruitment for next cohort has been successful and the course will be running again from September 2022.
We will continue to build our network for outreach practitioners working in university physics departments and research in Great Britain. Collaborative outreach project funding will be awarded annually; the outreach awards will be held biennially to recognise, celebrate and reward achievements in outreach.
An external evaluation of the outreach officer programme is underway and will report in 2023; the findings from this project will inform our ongoing plans to support university physics outreach.

Employer engagement
Engaging with employers can provide a tangible connection between physics and future careers, highlighting the many and varied pathways that can emerge from studying physics and STEM subjects.
The Coastal Energy internship programme is one way that the Trust is engaging with employers and working in priority areas of deprivation – many coastal areas in England are facing socio-economic challenges. The internships provide bursaries for Year 12 and Year 13 students to undertake a 20-day summer placement with a local company in the energy sector. Internships provide a vital springboard into future possibilities, broadening access to career insights, providing meaningful work experience and engaging students in crucial conversations about renewable energy and the environment. The internships are run in partnership with seven local education providers in East Anglia, Barrow, Ulverston and Grimsby, who each have Coastal Energy College Champions. The internships are only available to students in those institutions.
After a two-year period of online Coastal Energy internships, the programme returned to in-person placements for 2022. The CREST award element, which was introduced to provide additional structure and purpose to the research work, has been continued and is a valued component of the programme for the students. Many placements followed a hybrid approach this year, with elements of home-based research and in-person placements to mitigate any impact from the ongoing COVID situation.
Twenty-one students participated in the programme in 2022 at 16 host organisations; feedback indicated that students felt more informed and confident with improved project and time management skills and communication after their placement. So far, 12 students have received a Gold CREST award for their
project submission; two have received silver; further work is underway on many of the remaining projects.
Priority actions
We will continue to gradually increase the number of internships available each year and will work to progress the co-funding model with the participating companies; this model will reinforce the value of the scheme to those involved and will help to ensure its longer-term viability. The ambition is for the Coastal Energy programme to become more sustainable with employers taking on the educational bursary costs of the participating students. To ensure that associated costs do not become a barrier to participation for students in future years, the amount of the educational bursary will be reviewed ahead of the 2023 programme.
We are developing plans to expand the Coastal Energy model to other physicsrelated careers.
By getting the opportunity to experience this industry it made me more aware of the work needed to generate this clean energy, and how many processes energy goes through from being generated to being used in homes... This industry will continue growing in order to meet with global net zero aims making it a great long-term career to pursue.

Grants
In line with our strategy to increase the uptake of physics at post-16, particularly for under-represented students, the Trust awards funding to projects outside of our core schemes which are aimed at improving the teaching and learning of physics.
There are three physics education grant application windows throughout the year for small grants to support the teaching and learning of physics; all applications and reports are completed online. The grants are wide-ranging and support new ideas as well as established good practice. Since September 2021, 19 grants have been awarded to the value of £85,524.
Whilst these grants are awarded for standalone projects, we encourage schools to use a funding award as a stepping-stone into a longer-term relationship with the Trust, sometimes as a gateway to the Teacher Network or to forming a school partnership. In recent years, we have supported schools to launch A-level physics and this funding has come hand-in-hand with (continuing)

Queen Elizabeth’s High School (QEHS) is a state maintained, secondary (KS3KS5) selective school in Gainsborough which is one of the most deprived towns in England; most schools located in the centre of Gainsborough have a much higher than average percentage of disadvantaged students. Our science department at QEHS has received a prestigious platinum science mark award and we are keen to make a positive impact on the wider community.
We successfully applied for an Ogden physics education grant and our student STEM ambassadors are now being mentored to deliver STEM CREST activities to more than 200 local primary school pupils. The ambassadors are developing their physics, communication, creativity and reflective thinking skills; and the primary pupils are working towards a CREST award. Our STEM ambassadors are building career-related learning into the activities and making links to the world of work that pupils are familiar with, building science capital and making connections to the real-world appliance of science.
Through our STEM ambassador initiative and other school science outreach we have done, we have established good relations with primary schools in our community. We are now using this network as the foundation for an Ogden school partnership which will officially launch in September 2022.

Alumni can apply for physics education grants to support physics-related projects and initiatives; alumni who have since gone into teaching can join our Teacher Network. Further to our physics education grants, an additional three grants were made to organisations supporting other charitable interests of the Trustees; these grants are not open for applications and are solicited directly.

This year, following support from The Ogden Trust (2020–21 grant), the Great Science Share for Schools (GSSfS) launched a new initiative to encourage children to ask physics questions and carry out physics enquiries. More than 900 schools took part in the Great Phizzi Share, reaching 43,000 young people.
The Great Phizzi Share included CPD and resources to support teachers to deliver guided physics enquiries to develop children’s working scientifically skills. The practical, purposeful physics enquiries showed how ideas in the curriculum could be linked to real-world contexts around sustainability and climate.

Research and communications
The Trust continues to raise its profile in the physics education arena, delivering our own programmes and initiatives, collaborating on wider research to inform the broader physics education community and commissioning independent research.
Following the publication last year of our collaborative research report with SEERIH (University of Manchester): 10 Key Issues with Children’s Learning in Primary Science in England, work has continued to develop a framework of practical guidance, which will support practitioners to monitor children’s science learning effectively and to address the issues identified in the original research.
The Primary Science Capital Project was a three year (2019–22) applied action research project funded by The Ogden Trust and the Primary Science Teaching Trust. Following the completion of the research, a handbook has been launched to introduce the Primary Science Capital Teaching Approach (PSCTA).
Five Ogden regional representatives have been taking part in a PSCTA accredited training course. Over the duration of the training, participants have each been working closely with two primary teachers, guiding them to make the adaptions needed to their lessons to ensure an equity approach to teaching science that personalises learning to the children in the class.
Our programmes and our research are giving us a more prominent and influential voice in physics education and our communication channels are increasingly active. Our engagement on social media, especially Twitter, continues to increase; over the past year, we have gathered 621 new followers and at the end of August 2021, had reached a total of 5,000. Nearly 700 tweets have been made, achieving more than 380,000 impressions (the number of times a tweet is shown to people across the platform).
“Over the past few years, I have been fortunate to witness first-hand the positive impact the PSCTA approach can have, and in many cases, it has been truly transformational in providing young people with equitable opportunities to engage in science and develop their science capital and science identities.”

Our followers on Facebook have increased to 1,540. These platforms enable us to contribute to conversations and engage with a wider audience to share news, ideas and practice from across our programmes.
Priority actions
We will continue the process of delivering and maintaining accessibility standards and building representation, diversity and inclusion for our website, publications, and resources.
Our newly accredited PSCTA trainers will support teachers to develop their teaching practice and embed this social justice approach in primary schools across the country. They will work initially with teachers in our partnership programme.
We will work to further raise our profile in education media and at events so we can contribute more fully to national conversations on physics education and share our expertise and research results more widely.
We will develop our use of social media, more closely monitoring our analytics to feed into a broader digital communications strategy.

Governance, structure and management
Constitution
The organisation was registered as an unincorporated charity on 25 March 1994. The charity is governed by a trust deed, and a supplemental deed dated 18 May 1998. It is registered with the Charity Commission, Charity Registration Number 1037570.
This year, the charitable objects of the Trust were updated. They now allow the Trustees to advance general charitable purposes, in particular, but not limited to:
-
(i) the advancement of education;
-
(ii) the advancement of science; and
-
(iii) the prevention or relief of poverty and the relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
Appointment of Trustees
The Trustees are appointed by the existing Trustees. At any one time, there must be a minimum of three Trustees. There were no changes to the Trustee board this year.
Induction and training of Trustees
When new Trustees are appointed, there are procedures in place to ensure that they clearly understand their duties and responsibilities and can assess their own training needs. Most Trustees are longstanding and are able to support the development of new members of the Board.
The Trustees are briefed bi-annually by the Chief Executive about their responsibilities and liabilities as Trustees.
Organisational structure and decision making
The Trustees are responsible for the policies, activities and assets of the charity. They meet four times a year to review developments and activities, and to make any important decisions. When necessary, the Trustees seek advice and support from the charity’s professional advisers, including investment managers and accountants. Expert advisers in physics education may also be consulted where appropriate. All trustees give their time voluntarily and
receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 12 to the accounts.
The day-to-day management of the charity’s activities, and the implementation of policies, is delegated to Clare Harvey, Chief Executive, in line with an agreed scheme of delegation. At their meetings, the Trustees will review the investment performance, strategic changes to programmes, the impact of programme activities and grant proposals. The Chief Executive’s pay is determined by the Trustees who consider a range of factors.
Diversity and inclusion
Diversity and inclusion are core values of our organisation, and we are committed to providing an inclusive workplace for staff and consultants. A deliberate process of training and reflection has been underway for the past 18 months and this journey will be ongoing as we refine and evolve our policies and procedures, and ensure staff and consultants are skilled in equity, diversity, and inclusion issues.
The process of reflection and learning is informing our external-facing work, as we seek to remove any systemic barriers in our programmes and events. We have reviewed and refined our CPD training programmes to make them more accessible and inclusive; and we have updated our procedures to ensure events are open, welcoming, and safe spaces where everyone can participate. We are sharing our learning through programme webinars and conference sessions to help improve other people’s awareness of diversity and inclusion issues.
The Ogden Trust aims to increase participation in physics for any underrepresented groups, and diversity and inclusion will always be important to the organisation. We will continue to work with our accessibility and inclusion panel to learn from their lived experiences; our journey will be ongoing and iterative as we continue this process of change and learning to mitigate the barriers that may limit participation.

Financial summary
Key financial performance indicators
Total charitable expenditure in 2021–22 was £2,345,272, slightly increased from £2,336,219 in 2020–21. As the prior reporting period was 17 months, this shows a more significant increase across 12 months. Schools had a more stable year after the pandemic, and expenditure increased. Of this expenditure, £1,934,651 was spent directly on physics education activities with the School Partnerships programme constituting the biggest single area of spend. The Trust works through a mixture of small grants (typically less than £5,000) and direct support, primarily professional development activities for teachers. We often convene those on our programmes to share practice, locally and nationally.

The investment gain in this period has brought the portfolio to the higher end of our reserves target, in line with investment objectives. However, the Trustees are always aware that there are external factors which could affect the achievements of their objectives as all of the Charity’s assets are made up of investments and cash, the result of which are dependent on the general performance of the UK and overseas stock markets. In order to minimise this risk, the Trustees set prudent investment policies and place reliance on the investment managers to monitor and advise on necessary investment changes and suitable asset allocation.

Investment policy and performance
There are no restrictions on the charity’s power to invest. The investment strategy is set by the Trustees and takes into account income requirements, the risk profile and the investment manager’s view of the market prospects in the medium term. The overall investment policy is to maximise total return with a target of 5%. Despite uncertainty and turbulence in the markets, this year has seen a continued gain on investments.
Reserves policy
As explained above, the charity carries out a range of activities, some of which comprise projects requiring significant ongoing financial commitment and investment. The Trustees have examined the requirements for free reserves, ie, those unrestricted funds not designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed. As the majority of the investments are liquid, the majority of the Trust’s funds are free reserves.
The Trustees’ policy is to manage financial resources in such a way as to provide in full for the grant and bursary commitments made, and to ensure similar levels of commitment in the future. The free reserves must therefore be sufficient to generate sufficient return to allow this to happen. In the current financial climate, the Trustees estimate this amount to be £50,000,000–£70,000,000.
Risk management
In line with the requirement for Trustees to undertake a risk assessment exercise and report on the same in their annual report, the Trustees have looked at the risks The Ogden Trust currently faces and have reviewed the measures in place, or needing to be put in place, to deal with them. The Trustees have identified seven main areas where risks may occur, and a comprehensive risk register has been produced.
Having assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those relating to its investments and its finances, the Trustees believe that by monitoring reserve levels, ensuring controls exist over key financial systems, and by examining the grant management processes carried out by the charity they have established effective systems to mitigate those risks.
The business of the Trust is now fully operational following the pandemic. However, COVID continues to be considered in all risk assessments, particularly for those who are highly vulnerable, and contingency plans remain in place for all activities.
The balance sheet shows free reserves (unrestricted funds less tangible fixed assets) of £65,294,319 (2021: £56,477,847). Following the economic downturn due to COVID, the free reserves are now in the top quartile of the target range. The restricted funds for Energy Internships are currently negative, as explained in Note 21.

Trustees’ responsibility statement
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In so far as the Trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditor is unaware;
-
• they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Trustees’ report and financial statements 2022 | 29
Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Ogden Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Ogden Trust (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
Give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 August 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended
-
Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
-
Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on The Ogden Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
The information given in the trustees’ annual report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements;
-
Sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
• The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the Trustees’ annual report, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.
Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
- We enquired of management which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity’s policies and procedures relating to:
Trustees’ report and financial statements 2022 | 31
-
Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance
-
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
-
The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience.
-
We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
-
We reviewed any reports made to regulators.
-
We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
-
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s Trustees as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Trustees’ report and financial statements 2022 | 35
Notes to the financial statements for the period ended 31 August 2022
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition – October 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
No significant estimates or judgements have been made by management in preparing these financial statements.
The Ogden Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
1.2 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.3 Going concern
The Trustees have reviewed the financial position of the charity and have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis.
1.4 Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
36 | The Ogden Trust
Donation income is recognised when received.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Support costs, including governance costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include management carried out at the principal office. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. Support and governance costs have been allocated to activities based on staff time spent.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the period end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
Expenditure on raising funds represents the fees paid to investment managers in connection with the management of the Charity’s listed investments.
All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.6 Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures & fittings 20% per annum based on cost Computer equipment 25% per annum based on cost
1.8 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value.
Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading ‘Gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Trustees’ report and financial statements 2022 | 37
1.9 Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the relevant monthly average exchange rate.
Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on investments are disclosed within gains/(losses) on revaluations of fixed assets on the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.10 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.11 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.12 Creditors and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
1.13 Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme, and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.
1.14 Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The key areas in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made are as follows:
-
depreciation on fixed assets;
-
fair value of investments, and;
-
grants accrued payable in more than one year.

All the fixed asset investments are held in the UK.
All investments are carried at their fair value. Investment in equities and fixed interest securities are all traded in quoted public markets, primarily the London Stock Exchange. Holdings in common investment funds, unit trusts and open ended investment companies are at the bid price or the NAV of the fund. The basis of fair value for quoted investments is equivalent to the market value, using the bid price. Asset sales and purchases are recognised at the date of trade at cost (that is their transaction value).
The Charity manages the investment portfolio themselves and regularly consults with market professionals on its investment strategy. The Charity is operating an investment policy that provides for a degree of diversification of holdings within different unit trust investments. The sole purpose of the investment strategy is to fund the annual expenditure of the Trust. The Charity has invested in a number of unit trusts in order to protect the Charity’s exposure to volatility in the market and seek low risk investments wherever possible. The Investment Strategy is designed to seek absolute returns on its investments and does not differentiate between income arising from Interest and dividends or capital growth on its investments in its funding decisions.
All funds have monthly liquidity and the Trust regularly liquidates part of its Fund investments at the monthly NAV value to meet the expenditure of the Trust. The Trust makes investments both in Sterling and US dollars and from time to time hedges its foreign currency exposure.
The Charity does not make use of derivatives and similar complex financial instruments as it takes the view that investments are held for their longer-term growth and annual income.
The Charity has no material investment holdings in markets subject to exchange controls or trading restrictions.
