Sir David Attenborough turned 100 last week, and our school community joined millions around the world in celebrating the remarkable life and work of one of Britain’s greatest natural historians.
This week our school has been full of curiosity and excitement as we celebrated British Science Week.
On the 10th March, around 20 IB Chemistry students attended a series of Chemistry in Action lectures in Emmanuel Centre.
On the 7th February 2026, five of our top Chemistry students; Angela Luong, Caspar Nalepa, Fope Odutayo, Tobi Orimoloye and Caitlyn Osei-Tutu, were selected to attend the prestigious Chemistry Race held at the World renowned University of Cambridge.
The past couple of weeks at Senior Science Society have been very eventful!
On Wednesday 21st January, 30 of our Year 10 students enjoyed an inspiring day at Science in Action, packed with exciting lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on experiences.
Each week in Senior Science Society (M15 during P5 lunch), our Year 12 students deliver “science presentations”.
For the past 3 weeks, the Science Club has been running every Tuesday, during lunchtime, at 12:50pm in the M16.
As part of Black History Month, Year 7 students took part in a Science Trail to discover historic Black figures who have made remarkable contributions to science.
For the past three weeks, the Senior Science Society has been running every Friday lunchtime, supported by our former Year 13 President and Vice President.

Led by Mr Andrews, Mrs Gradley and Mr Das and assisted by some of our fantastic Sixth Form helpers, Science Club has proven to be a fun but educational way to spend lunchtimes on Tuesday for the Year 7s this year.
This term, a group of 20 keen Year 12 chemists participated in the prestigious Cambridge Chemistry Challenge (C3L6), a 90-minute two-question exam designed by the University of Cambridge's chemistry department. Aimed at stretching KS5 Chemistry thinking, the challenge encourages students to apply problem-solving skills well beyond standard exam topics.
