Big STEM Challenge 2022 – Update
All 3 of our after-school science clubs undertook projects for the Big STEM Challenge 2022, a county-wide competition for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. (- For our blog containing our video entries, please click here).
We are delighted to report that all 3 of our Big STEM Challenge entries were shortlisted for the Primary Schools’ Finals. These Finals were held as a science fair at Discovery Park in Sandwich on Friday 8th July.
We took eleven children to represent their respective science clubs. Each club was given a science fair table to show their project to the judges.

The judges were very impressed with all our entries, and we were additionally thrilled when our Y5 Eco Science Club was announced as the overall winner. They won a £300 prize, which we intend to put towards an extracurricular STEM project next year.
