The money will be used to introduce an Excellence in Technology Award, which will further support the schools specialist status and recognise those pupils who show a real improvement and flair in this field.
Following a severe fire at the school in 2004, Portakabin was chosen to supply an interim school building whilst the permanent structure was being re-built.
The scale and demands of the project meant that a strong relationship between the school and the Portakabin Nottingham Hire Centre in Beeston was quickly formed.
Martin Jones, Manager at the Hire Centre, said, ‘We’re very pleased to be working with Arnold Hill School on this innovative scheme, which aims to encourage more young people to get involved in technology projects. Portakabin is proud of its track record of technological innovation, so sponsoring an award in this field is an excellent way of finding and encouraging talent that may one day be part of the Portakabin team.’
The introduction of the Excellence in Technology award is a great enhancement to the school’s existing Behaviour For Learning scheme, which rewards good behaviour and disciplines bad behaviour .
