Specialist schools are an important part of the Government's plans to raise standards in secondary education.
The Specialist Schools Programme (SSP) helps schools, in partnership with private sector sponsors and supported by additional Government funding, to establish distinctive identities through their chosen specialisms and achieve their targets to raise standards.

Specialist schools have a special focus on those subjects relating to their chosen specialism but must also meet the National Curriculum requirements and deliver a broad and balanced education to all pupils.

 
At Cams Hill School we value all children as individuals with unique talents, skills and abilities. We are committed to supporting all children to do their best through academic, artistic and sporting achievements.

Over a four year programme, our Specialist School Status will enable us to develop facilities and resources to enhance teaching and learning across our whole curriculum and that of our partner schools. We are working towards becoming a centre of excellence in Science and Mathematics education and to be able to disseminate best practice at a regional and national level.


Our largest and longest running Leading Edge project continues to be our Cams Hill Science Consortium which currently involves 34 primary and secondary schools across Hampshire, East and West Sussex. Working collaboratively with other schools, we have been able to raise standards of teaching and learning in science lessons covering all age groups KS1 to KS5.


The Consortium has developed a range of initiatives and teaching resources and we are very proud that our ‘Thinking Frame Approach’ was included within a core teacher training unit for the Key Stage 3 National Strategy for Science.
 
 
The ‘Thinking Frames’ along with our ‘Levels Mountain’ and ‘Placemats’ resources enable us to offer regular teacher training workshops and courses at the Science Learning Centre at Southampton University.
