Our application to become a
Specialist College in Science from September 2004 has been approved.
In
October 2003, King’s Norton Boys’ School will apply to become a
Science College, as part of a network of Specialist Schools across
Birmingham and the country.
Our
objectives are to:
·
Raise standards of
the teaching and learning of Science & Mathematics in the school
and community.
·
Extend the range
of opportunities in Science & Mathematics to both King’s Norton
Boys’ School pupils and the wider community.
·
Benefit other
schools in the area, to build on existing links with primary,
secondary and special schools.
·
Strengthen the
links between schools, industry and commerce.
Funding:
If
our application for specialist status is successful, we shall receive
additional funding worth almost £500,000 over the next four years.
But
first, we need to raise £50,000 towards a capital project. The
Government will then provide an additional grant of £100,000 towards
this project. We shall
then receive an extra £123 per pupil for each of the next four years.
To
date, we have raised £44,000 of the
required £50,000. Do
you know anyone who can help us achieve our target?
We
are a charity, so your sponsorship is tax efficient.
Business
sponsors in the local community can benefit from:-
·
Your name on
literature, including local, regional and national events held at the
school.
·
Your name on our
website www.kingsnortonboys.bham.sch.uk with hyperlinks to your site
if requested.
·
Good public
relations for your company with exposure of your name to both public
and students.
·
Chances to develop
networks with other sponsors and their businesses.
·
AND …….. a
well-trained future workforce bringing increased prosperity to the
area.
You
can help in other ways, too, by helping to raise awareness of our bid
in the wider community or becoming involved as a community partner,
offering advice and support to pupils, or providing off-site
experiences such as visits to laboratories and factories.
