Cams Hill
School was first recognised
by Government education chiefs as one of the shining lights in
education in the country back in 1998 when we were amongst the
first 75 schools across England selected to receive Beacon
Status.
This status gave us financial support to collaborate and form partnerships
with many other primary and secondary schools across the region
so as to develop a series of innovative teaching and learning projects
to enrich and enhance the curriculum.
Over the years, Beacon Status
was replaced with a new initiative called ‘Leading
Edge’ and
we are now the lead school within the Cams Hill Leading Edge Partnership.
In addition in 2009 we were awarded Lead School status for Gifted
and Talented education.
Curriculum Projects
Our various partnership projects enable our staff to work with
teachers from a wide variety of other schools as well as academics
and Local Authority Advisors. This sustained investment in resources
and time over a number of years has enabled us to design and
develop a wide range of curriculum development and enrichment
projects. Our innovative Leading Edge Partnership projects have
covered a wide range of curriculum areas including; Art, Drama,
English, Electronics, Geography, ICT, Mathematics, Modern Foreign
Languages, Performing Arts, Religious Education, and Science.
It is not just about raising standards here at Cams Hill, our
Leading Edge work offer benefits to children in schools across
the region.
