Teacher testimonials

Here's a few words from teachers whose students have participated our Science Bursaries programme:

Our college has been participating in the scheme for five years to provide an extra challenge and opportunity for our gifted, talented and motivated students. The bursary placements allow students their independence and the chance to delve into research fields that are both novel and pioneering.

Dr Adam Shaw, Halesowen College

An excellent scheme for the students who get the opportunity. All have agreed that it has been a worthwhile experience and intend to use it to enhance their UCAS applications. 

Margaret Lane, Head of Department, Abbey Grammar School

Every pupil who has taken part in the scheme has benefited from increased confidence and general experience. It has usually improved motivation during their final year at school and they have all achieved admission to their prefered University courses.

Lynn Friedrichsen, Principal Teacher Faculty, Dumfries Academy 

Our students benefit from this experience tremendously, especially as many of them are identified as coming from areas of social deprivation. 

Lila Obuchowicz, Senior Tutor and Aimhigher Coordinator Science, Leyton Sixth form College
