Brilliant Partnerships, Collaboration & Possibilities...

Year 12 Students from Childwall School - A Specialist Sports and Science College in Liverpool have been volunteering their free time to take part in broader issues of Climate Change, in partnership with leading Scientists from the Royal Society.

Childwall, also a Curious Minds Enquiry School have secured 4 grants from the Royal Society of up to £3000 to set up projects in the school. Mike McAteer, ICT co-ordinator says  'It inspires us to think beyond the exam results'  Since the schools first grant in 2004 there has been a 24 per cent increase in pupils studying GCSE science.  

Mike says 'We wanted the year 12s to be able to see what sort of jobs are available to them, whether that's as a scientist, engineer or mathematician,' Through these projects, they get to meet people who have done the learning and see where they end up.
