This academic year I am responsible for leading a six month STEM project with a group of gifted and talented sixth form students. It will involve the students taking on a real life problem set by an engineering company in Staffordshire. One of the areas that I would like to develop in the school is the % of A* /A grades at both GCSE and A Level Sciences. By raising the profile of Science within the school and involving students in Science based projects I hope this will inspire students and help them to gain a much deeper level of subject knowledge leading to higher attainment in the examinations.
