Ryders Hayes School in Pelsall was awarded a £20,000 bursary to take part in ‘Project ENTHUSE’ which is aimed at raising aspirations in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
Leaders said the project, launched by Aldridge-Brownhills MP Wendy Morton, will be open to children and staff from nine other schools and managed by Ryders Hayes alongside accredited lead STEM facilitator Claire Raxworthy-Cooper.
The programme will enable them to access teacher training and development and provide pupil activities to inspire a new generation of engineers, scientists and mathematicians.
