Promotional graphic for “SKPT – Subject Knowledge for Physics Teaching.” On the left, teal text on a white background introduces the programme. On the right, a small photo shows a person smiling, their hair is sticking up straight from their head in all directions, spreading out and separating so it looks like it is floating or standing on end. A quote in the centre on a teal panel reads: "...certainly the best CPD/training I have ever done. The whole thing has been invaluable and has given me so much more confidence in delivering physics up to GCSE level,” attributed to Marcus. Logos for STEM Learning, The Ogden Trust, and The Department for Education appear along the bottom.
