Ernesford was designated as a Specialist Science College in September 2005. In June 2010 we were successfully re-designated and will retain our status for another 3 years. The Specialist departments within the school are Science and Maths. Both departments undertake extensive outreach work in other departments, partner Primary, Secondary and Special  Schools as well as the wider Community.
