ANOTHER Bexley secondary school has won specialist status.

Erith School, Avenue Road, Erith, will become the ninth Bexley school to specialise in specific subjects, from September this year.

Erith School's specialties will be sports, maths and computing.

Fifteen school staff worked on the application last term and the school raised £75,000 sponsorship in 18 months, including Oracle computers, which will work with the school on a number of projects.

Erith's new status will also mean more opportunities to work with neighbouring secondary school Trinity and Northumberland Heath, Normandy and Colyers primary schools and Slade Green Junior School.
