Welcome To Our School Science Clubs Blog  

With support from the AstraZeneca Science Teaching trust (AZSTT), The Cams Hill Science Consortium are developing and trialling this website as a resource to support the formation and linking of Science Clubs in a variety of primary and secondary schools across Hampshire and Sussex. Our aim is that able pupils from the different schools will be able to link together to share their ideas and discuss all sorts of science in the news.
