Sensational Science Workshop

Using ingredients only found in the average household, Year 7 Wilton Scholars were treated to a superb Science exploration workshop this week to stretch and develop their understanding of displacement, non-Newtonian fluids, air pressure and chemical reactions. Pupils predicted outcomes and theorised unusual results. They then needed to apply these concepts to alternative experiments that required them to stretch and challenge their thinking.

Forty-two pupils in sports trip of a lifetime to the Real Madrid first team training ground

During the half term holiday, forty-two pupils have spent six days on a sports trip to the Spanish capital of Madrid. The trip consisted of four training sessions at the Real Madrid training ground being coached by some of the best academy coaches in the world. Pupils also had lunch in the training ground restaurant and on one of the sessions they were joined by the official team photographer of Real Madrid. The pupils also enjoyed six matches in Madrid, a training session at a local grassroots club, a walk around the parks of Madrid, a visit to a shopping centre and a meal in a city centre restaurant. The behaviour of the pupils was exemplary throughout the trip which impressed the staff and coaches of Real Madrid. This was a dream trip that pupils will never forget.
