Imperial goes to school

Three schools that achieved specialist science school status this week will join Imperial College London's scheme for postdoctoral students to teach pupils part time. St Gregory's School in Kenton, Middlesex, the Heathland School, Hounslow, and Stewards School, Harlow, will each get £40,000 sponsorship from pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline, together with £100,000 from the government.
