A true test of resilience! The Year 3 STEM activity involves seeing who can construct the tallest structure using spaghetti and marshmallows.

Year 5 visited Leicester City FC with Year 12 students. We were treated to an amazing stadium tour where we saw all the trophies, the media room, changing rooms, the ‘super’ box and the dug outs pitch side.
