Last week was packed with exciting activities for both Prep and Senior as we celebrated #britishscienceweek2025 and embraced the national theme of ‘Change and Adapt.’

Prep collected crisp packets to be turned into blankets, attended an assembly on plastics, and enjoyed astronaut training and genetics lessons. The oceanography session led by St Albans Education Group Principal Amber Waite, captivated pupils with tales of deep-sea adventures. A visit to Whipsnade Zoo and lessons on variation and adaptation kept the excitement high, ending with a fun class on killer crabs.

At Senior, students enjoyed a visit from Garg’s Animal Encounters, making telephones, participating in a science quiz, and dissecting frogs. Additionally, there were partnership events with Year 5 students from Killigrew Primary School, a talk by Ayesha Meredith-Lewis from the Linnean Society of London, and an Atkins Scholars’ car racing event, where students designed and 3D printed their own cars using CAD.

It was a week filled with learning, discovery, and plenty of fun!
