Our Outreach Programme

Over recent years, the School has been increasingly committed to delivering a wide range of quality outreach activities, all of which aim to foster closer links with schools in both the local and our wider community.

This provision has been further strengthened by the appointment of Dr. Peter Hoare from 1st September 2009 as our dedicated Outreach Officer, following on from his very successful Royal Society of Chemistry Teacher Fellowship secondment in the previous academic year.

The impending opening of our Chemistry Outreach Laboratory facility towards the end of 2009 will further enhance both the quality and quantity of practical laboratory sessions we will be able to offer to local schools on a regular basis in the future.

We can offer a selection of placements, presentations, workshops, laboratory facilities, software, tours and careers talks to secondary schools and 6th Form Colleges, and we can also provide primary schools with support for your science activities.

We are also always looking for Chemistry and Science Teachers to join our regular Teachers Forum.
