Nunthorpe School has been invited to join the Arkwright Scholarships Trust. The trust encourages the most talented young people to consider a career in the field of design and engineering.
The Arkwright Scholarship Trust is an independent Charity founded in 1991. The trust is funded by Industry, Charitable Trusts, the Services, Institutions, Associations and Personal Donors. Donations are given to support individual Scholars and the running of the programme. The scheme encourages partnerships between education and industry, promoting subjects such as Maths, Design Technology, Engineering and Science.
Nunthorpe School is a specialist school in Science and Business Enterprise and has students studying Engineering and Design Technology at A2 level – the main criteria required to become part of the Arkwright Scholarship Trust.
The invitation to join the Trust allows students of Nunthorpe to be considered for individual scholarships, becoming ambassadors within the school and raising the profile for Engineering and Design Technology within the local community.
Scholars benefit from financial support, career awareness days, networking and development opportunities and work experiences.
This is a great honor for Nunthorpe and the Sixth Form Experience students. Nunthorpe is one of the few education providers in Redcar and Cleveland to be awarded this opportunity. It brings the prospect of exciting opportunities for the development of its students.
