The Royal Society, the national academy of science of the UK and the Commonwealth - Associate School.
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009Mr Finagin is delighted to announce that this morning Bacon’s College received the excellent news that it has been approved by the Royal Society as an Associate School. This status will enable the College to work with the Society to provide its students with exceptional opportunities in the field of Science and other subject areas.
“The Royal Society is celebrating its 350th anniversary next year. To mark the event, we are launching an Associate Schools scheme, providing enhanced access to Royal Society resources and activities.
The pilot phase of the scheme is recruiting 1 primary and 1 secondary school from each London borough to be an Associate School until September 2010.
Royal Society Associate Schools will benefit from:
- assisted application to the Royal Society Partnership Grants Scheme
- access to the Royal Society’s unique collection of scientific books and manuscripts
- preferential booking for events and lectures
- preferential booking for Summer Science Exhibition registration and special associated events
- Education newsletter
- Weekly digest of educational news (i.e. Education in the News).
These activities are available to all teachers within your school, helping to deliver innovative approaches across the curriculum, for example with teaching the History of Science.”
