Environmental and sustainability issues are increasingly pivotal issues when considering modern town planning. After learning about innovative modern projects such as Bedzed, Masdar and Finhorn Eco Village, Chapter 9 Wilton Scholars were challenged with collaboratively designing a new city of the future through a superb ‘Town Planning Challenge’. Considering issues such as power, services, open air spaces, transport, waste, water, sustainability and amenities, pupisl worked together to create their vision of future communities. After creating architectural plans and scale models, pupils presented their ideas.

Chapter 11 Wilton Scholars were challenged to consider whether the characteristics that make a good leader were the same characteristics required to make a good politician. Pupils explored the psychology of politics and were invited to ponder a series of philosophical questions about popularity, pressures and principles. Our thanks to the Wilton Trust for arranging this thought provoking event.
