  • Navy Activity Day for Year 9

    Published 30/10/25

    Year 9 students were given the opportunity to take part in the following STEM activity. 

    Students were given a realistic scenario where they were lost at sea with broken communications. They would have to make contact with another vessel or land by building a tower with two satellites attached.

    These activities are designed for small groups to work on strategy, communication and teamwork.
    The equipment used is simple in structure (think very large Meccano) but designed to encourage the use of students’ imagination and STEM skills. 

    Group sessions like this will develop student’s ability to work together as a group, adapt, improvise and communicate to ensure their design is as effective as possible.

  • Science Research Conference 2025

    Published 14/10/25

    Year 13 last week hosted their annual Science Research Conference, showcasing an impressive range of work across Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, and Philosophy & Ethics. 

    Working in study groups over the summer, they investigated dissertation style questions that went beyond the curriculum, often exploring themes of future innovation. 

    Each group produced a scientific poster and presented their findings, articulating complex ideas with clarity and confidence.

    The conference was an inspiring celebration of research, collaboration, and academic excellence, highlighting the curiosity and creativity of our students. A huge well done to all involved for their hard work, dedication, and the professional way they rose to this challenge.
