Students attend Royal Institute Engineering Masterclasses at Leonardo UK

On Saturday 26th November, selected Year 9 science students and STEM coordinator Mrs Quinton celebrated the completion of a fascinating course that they had attended at Leonardo UK, based in Luton. Students Jonathan Ryall, Sam Catalano, Jake Tablada,Thomas McGrath-Brown and Louis Ertl have just completed a six week course in engineering at the company, as part of the ongoing STEM programme.

 

The Engineering Masterclasses, run by the Royal Institution, introduce young people to engineering, allowing them to gain insight into the creativity, practice and relevance of this diverse discipline. Each masterclass was presented by a practising engineer from industry or academia. Students worked on a practical project, focusing on a different topic whilst learning the theory underpinning the subject and experiencing how science and maths connect to real-life engineering challenges.

 

Congratulations to the students who completed this prestigious course and whose knowledge of engineering has been enhanced as a result.

Year 8 Swimmers Make Waves at County Championships

We are delighted to announce that two of our Year 8 pupils, Sam C and Grace F, have achieved significant success in the pool, qualifying for and competing at the prestigious County Swimming Championships. Qualification for Counties is a major milestone in the swimming world. To be eligible, swimmers must achieve strict published qualifying times and rank within the top 25 competitors in their age group across the entire county. Both students have demonstrated exceptional talent to reach this elite standard. Sam has secured his place in an incredible variety of events, demonstrating his versatility across both sprints and long-distance endurance races. Representing Berkhamsted Swim Club, Sam will be competing at the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans throughout January. His comprehensive schedule includes: Freestyle: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m Butterfly: 50m, 100m, and 200m Individual Medley: 100m, 200m, and 400m Matching this high standard of performance is Grace F, who represents the U13 age group. Grace has already secured a fantastic 9th place ranking in the county for the 100m breaststroke. Beyond this individual success, Grace is a dedicated member of Ricky Swim Club and a vital part of the SCD team, regularly representing the school in the Herts League. Reaching this level requires a sustained and high level of commitment. Over the past eight months, both swimmers have balanced intense training schedules and regular licensed galas alongside their academic studies. Their success is a testament not only to their athletic ability but also to their discipline and excellent time management. Please join us in congratulating Grace on her top10 ranking and wis
