The primary function of this web site is to support my work as an electronics teacher at Finham Park School. Although much of the content is specific to my students, a number of areas e.g. the knowledge base, may be of interest to others. In another role, I manage the West Midlands Support Hub for the Electronics in Schools Strategy. Details of Hub courses and activities can be found here 4EiSS .
