Schools are Class Act.
One hundred children have spent this summer learning about the natural environment at Cullercoat's Dove Marine Laboratory. This is the second year of a three year programme funded with a £30,000 grant obtained from the New Opportunities Fund to run stimulating and exciting Summer Schools for 11-14 year olds. Each pupil had the opportunity to carry out their own scientific investigation, studying a topic in sand dunes, woodland, rivers or on the rocky shore. They had access to University equipment, microscopes and the seawater aquarium facilities at the Dove. They submitted their projects for a nationally recognised CREST award. Staff from the Northumberland Wildlife Trust and English Nature were also involved in the teaching. On the Friday of each week, parents joined pupils and staff in celebrating their achievements.

The course includes a shore visit, and practical laboratory experience. No previous biology study is required! This is ideal for anyone who has an interest in marine biology; whether you are a diver who would like to know more about the science behind the organisms you observe, or a teacher who would like to put a marine slant on their ecology teaching, or simply just curious.
