Schools receive share of £50,000
Roose Community Primary School in Barrow
Schools across south Cumbria have received a share of more than £50,000 to help pupils make up for lost ground during the coronavirus pandemic.
BAE Systems Submarines’ shipyard in Barrow launched a fund specifically aimed at science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects.
In the Furness and Millom areas, secondary schools could apply for up to £1,500 and primary schools up to £750 if they identified projects to help boost STEM education. A total of 59 schools applied.
Janet Garner, principal of BAE Systems’ Submarines Academy for Skills and Knowledge, said: “This initiative was part of our larger community response to COVID-19. During lockdown, pupils have had limited access to practical activities and specialist resources for STEM subjects.
