SCROLL

I am delighted to introduce a new science podcast titled 'Beyond the Beaker' created by Johnny and Ben, two of our talented Fifth Form (Year 11) pupils. This pupil-led project is a remarkable example of initiative, curiosity, and passion in action. By taking it upon themselves to explore scientific ideas and share them with a wider audience, they are not only celebrating their own love of science but also contributing meaningfully to our school's wider STEM culture. 

What makes their work particularly impressive is the skill they are developing in communicating complex scientific concepts with clarity and enthusiasm. In a world where the ability to explain science effectively is more valuable than ever, their efforts stand out as highlighting the highly skilled pupil body of the School.

I am incredibly excited to see how this podcast evolves and where their creativity and commitment will take it. This is exactly the kind of thoughtful, pupil-driven innovation that enriches our community and inspires others to get involved.

Starting Beyond the Beaker has been an incredible experience. The support which we have received from teachers and pupils, as well as the hugely exciting opportunity to practice talking about science, have contributed to making this enjoyable. It was amazing to see how many people had listened to the podcast and seemed genuinely positive about it. Hopefully, we can continue to improve and make better content over the next few years, with the aim of talking to some famous scientists. Throughout the entire process, we have received incredible support from Mr Dickinson, and none of this would have happened without him.

Ben & JOhnny, Fifth Form (Year 11)
