Secondaries specialising in certain topics - how important is
this?  (23 Posts) Talkinpeace Tue 21-May-13 21:28:50  During the
days of Nulabour, specialist schools got up to £50,000 per year
per specialism, and they could not have the same specialism as
another school within a certain distance.  Backfired rather when
rural schools miles from anywhere became specialists in
EVERYTHING!  Science was the top of the academic heap, Maths,
computing and languages next then sport and performing arts and
technology and then business  the money ran out years ago so it
makes diddly squat difference now.  gerbilsarefun Tue 21-May-13

has received a great all round education. But the school does
forge links with local primaries and involve them in science
events (my youngest dd has been on science evenings there). My
eldest dd struggled a bit academically in primary but she done
really well in all subjects in the 3 years she has been there.
