  • Students visit Warwick University

    Thu 13 Feb 2020
  • Illuminating Engineering

    Fri 07 Feb 2020

    On 4th February, the University of Warwick visited to deliver a session to selected Year 8 classes and Year 9 Engineering students. 

     

    Modern day manufacturing links together art, science, engineering and technology in order to create new, exciting and bespoke products. The interactive workshop explored how these links can be brought together through design, software and hardware engineering skills.  Students enjoyed exploring the creation of a lamp controlled by an Arduino micro processor, and how software can be developed to create light effects.

     

    Many thanks to the WMG department at Warwick University.

  • Big Yellow Apprenticeship Bus

    Tue 04 Feb 2020

    Harris welcomed the Big Yellow Apprenticeship Bus into our grounds on 3rd February 2020 and our year 10 students got to go on the Bus for an Apprenticeship presentation. They also got the opportunity to participate in apprenticeship style activities, such as bridge building with sticks for those budding Engineers out there, as well as holding a real chainsaw!

    We would like to send a huge "Thank You" to the Warwickshire College Group for visiting us!
