Have you got students who would like to be paid for assisting with or developing some research? If they can give up 4 weeks in the Summer they could be paid for it.

For more details contact janet.czajkowska@gmail.com
Please find attached document (for download) which gives some of the characteristics of departments supporting pupils who are making good progress in science. This can be used to support you when making SEF type judgements or any other evaluative work you are doing.
Please see the attached article which highlights cahnges in the proportion of Sc. 1 in the upcoming SATs. The article also includes pertinent information about the New PoS for KS3 which will need to be taught to Y7 in Sept 2008.
