The Nuffield Foundation set up the Nuffield Science in Practice project in 1991 to innovate in the field of vocational science education. Just as work started, the government announced that the National Council of Vocational Qualifications (NCVQ) would be setting up a...

Nuffield Secondary Science in the 1960s was a response to the need to improve the teaching of science for the three-quarters of secondary students who were then unlikely to be entered for GCE O-level. The project team aimed to put into practice the approach to science teaching outlined in the Newsom Report,...

The developers of Nuffield Secondary Science described the resources they published as a 'quarry' from which teachers could select suitable material to build courses that would be significant for their students.

The resources are divided into eight themes. Each theme is divided in a number of fields of...

Nuffield Working with Science was developed in the 1970s to meet the needs of ‘the new sixth former’ in schools and colleges. The programme offered teachers a variety of resources as a basis for courses aimed at students staying on in education after the age of 16 for a...

These publications are from the Nuffield Foundation. When Nuffield Advanced Biology was revised and republished in 1985 there was a major change in the form and content of the books. The original study guide was split into two volumes and was expanded in scope with a...

In Revised Nuffield Advanced Chemistry, the basic aims and ideas of the first edition, the outline of the topics, and much of the detail remained the same. However, since the publication of the ...

The Nuffield Foundation revised and republished Nuffield Advanced Physics in 1985. The original carefully-thought-through structure of the course was retained but there were significant changes in the form of the published resources.

The project decided to...

The original Nuffield O-level Biology texts were published in the mid-1960s. About ten years later the texts and guides were revised following an evaluation of the materials.

Many teachers who had experience of using the materials contributed to the evaluation...

The Nuffield Chemistry course for students aged 11-16 was first published in 1966. By 1971 the materials had been well tried in many schools. Dr Richard Ingle was appointed to prepare a second edition of the resources in the light of all the feedback from teachers....

The Nuffield Physics course for students aged 11–16 was first published in 1966. The course was revised and republished in 1977 following extensive consultations with teachers and visits to see the course in action in schools. Feedback from the O-level examiners also...
