    Harrogate Grammar School has received a £50,000 grant from The Wolfson Foundation to improve the sixth form's science facilities.

    The grant-making charity, which focuses on supporting research and education projects, has awarded more than £2 million to organisations in Yorkshire and the Humber in its latest round of funding.

    This is the second time the foundation has awarded funds to HGS' science department.

    Five years ago it issues a grant to the main school’s science laboratory facilities.  This second award will be used to refurbish the biology lab, create an up-to-date space for students to conduct all practical elements of their studies and also provide a teacher demonstration area.

    David Robson, assistant headteacher at HGS, said:

    “I’m delighted that this award will aid the enhancement of our science facilities in sixth form, leading to a more engaging teaching environment. Flexible spaces will enable more effective delivery of the suite of science qualifications.”


    Headteacher Neil Renton said:

    “It is an honour to receive this funding, recognising our vision to create greater access to modern teaching spaces.
    "The plans facilitate effective teaching of both theory and practical elements across the science qualifications”.
