Welcome,

This Blog has been created for Great Barr School and everything that relates to Specialist Status for Science and Maths, whole school and our community.
By using this form of communication, it is hoped that staff, pupils and community stakeholders can add anything and everything that they feel adds to the diversity of Specialist Status.
If you feel its relevant and of interest, then please go ahead and add the details/pictures/quotes/movies etc etc.
Each term we hope to take samples from the blog and create a hard copy newsletter representing Great Barr School and Specialist Status to give to specific year groups of pupils.

So go ahead and start Blogging...........A.Williams - Director of Specialism

Thanks to Mr Williams for setting this up. In terms of the diversity of Specialist Status its hard to know where to begin.

Mrs Davies and I are in charge of the Science and Mathematics Learning Centre and in the past two years we have been privileged to be involved with pupils of all ages from Great Barr and from our four partner primary schools. We have also worked within the community at Perry Locks Nursing Home and with Age Concern.

Our most recent enjoyable activities have been the SATS revision circuses undertaken with every Year 9 science class. We both feel that these have had a major impact on the science knowledge and understanding of our Year 9 pupils. Thanks to Miss Grewal for her help in setting these up and special thanks to the Mrs Hackett and the team of technicians for their invaluable help in running the lessons.
