Keys to PE block handed over

This week, Mr Sutherland received the keys to the new PE changing block from Mark Smalley, a Director of T & E Neville Ltd, the principal contractor during our 2 year expansion project. Students will be making good use of the fantastic new dance and fitness studio and the new changing rooms from next week. This much needed new resource has been made possible in large part by funding from Hertfordshire County Council and the Holborn Estate Charity together with a sum of money from the Education Funding Agency gained as a result of the school housing Croxley Danes whilst its permanent site is developed. As you can see from the photographs below, the building houses two sets of PE changing rooms, a dance/fitness studio with kitchenette and a new PE office. Huge thanks are due to Dr Johnson and Mr Heward who have been responsible for the project and to the staff from T & E Neville and Synergy who have worked tirelessly to ensure its delivery.

Future engineers reach new heights at Cambridge physics experience

Members of the Year 7 and 8 Science Club recently swapped the classroom for the historic halls of the University of Cambridge, taking part in the prestigious Cambridge Physics Experience. The day began with an inspiring tour of Churchill College, where pupils gained a unique insight into the architectural and academic history of the site. This was followed by an engaging presentation on university life, highlighting the long-term benefits of higher education and offering the group a glimpse into the exciting opportunities that await them in the future. The afternoon shifted from theory to practical engineering as the pupils were tasked with a series of high-stakes Martian challenges. Working in competitive teams, they were charged with designing and building model Mars Rovers capable of navigating a simulated rocky and sandy Martian terrain. In addition to the rovers, the teams had to construct landing modules engineered to survive a precarious drop from a high balcony. The competition was fierce, but it was our very own team 'Dux' that claimed the title of overall winners. Their rover outperformed the field by traveling the furthest distance across the challenging surface. Furthermore, their meticulous approach to the mass and structural integrity of their landing module paid off, resulting in a perfectly soft landing that impressed the judges. It was a fantastic day of hands-on science that showcased the ingenuity and teamwork of our junior scientists.
