We are delighted to announce our plans to invest £90,000 in the refurbishment of an existing classroom into a fully equipped Science lab, after staff at the school were successful in securing additional funding.

Work will start on the project in July this year, and it should be completed in time for the start of the Autumn term.

The cost of the project is funded with the help of a grant of nearly £80,000 from the Wolfson Foundation, an independent charity with a focus on research and education that awards grants to support excellence in the fields of science, health, heritage, humanities and the arts.

Although we already have six fully functioning labs, the development will mean more specialist facilities available for science classes.

We are delighted to have secured the grant and excited about how the new facilities can help our students reach their potential.

Paul Ramsbottom, Chief Executive of the Wolfson Foundation, said: “We are very pleased to support Kesteven and Sleaford High School in creating outstanding facilities for their students. We hope the new laboratory will help inspire students to have a lifelong interest in science.”
