During his teaching career, he has held many leadership roles including for Special Educational Needs, Physics (11-19) and for 15 years he successfully led the science department for a large comprehensive school in York.

In 2018 he joined the University of York, Department of Education as part of the University of York Science Education Group (UYSEG).  Drawing on his masters degree in curriculum development in science education and his school experience in developing and improving science curriculum, Peter is the lead physicist for the Best Evidence Science Teaching project (BEST).

STEM Learning Bites give STEM teachers the opportunity to access experienced education professionals in a given field to help improve their practice.  Each month there will be a guest speaker who will introduce their area of educational expertise which is then followed by a discussion.
