• Big Bang "Near Me" - Thursday 29th June 2017

  Fantastic STEM trip to an exhibition & workshops for any year 9s & 10s who are interested in STEM.

  The regional "Big Bang Near Me" Trip in Derby has been confirmed. See Mr Lawrence or Mr Walters ASAP to collect a letter. The first 45 slips returned will secure a place.
