The popular four day RSC Chemistry for non-specialists at KS4 course is being run at Highsted Grammar School, Sittingbourne starting on 16th July 2008. This course is aimed at teachers of KS4 Chemistry who hold a specialism in a subject other than Chemistry. The course consists of a 2 day residential this term followed by one day in the autumn term & one day in the spring 2009 term. The cost of this four day course for maintained & independent schools is £120 per person. Teachers from maintained schools are eligible to apply for an IMPACT AWARD worth £200 per day. This will cover the cost of the course fee & the majority of supply cover fees.
Full course details are available on .
