STEAM

Our STEAM programme develops students who can think outside the box, work as a team, and challenge the norm.

In our dedicated STEAM Maker Space, students tackle some of the world’s trickiest puzzles. Last year, our students were tasked with demonstrating their understanding of the water cycle, researching how oceans affect the weather. Together, they investigated the facts, considered one another’s ideas, and worked together to show what they’d learnt.

Learning in this way helps our students to become confident critical thinkers who are prepared for the challenges of further education.
