Some copper chemistry by year 9's. Making a soluble salt resulted in great crystals. Plus Miss Elwell's and Miss Nugent's class were making copper from copper oxide.

Year 9 Chemical changes

Year 9 Biologists are studying the circulatory system and heart structure this term. Hands-on heart dissection this week

Brilliant aseptic technique from our Year 12 CTEC Applied Scientists - cloning of a cauliflower. Great results following the SAPS method

The de Ferrers Science technician team keeping their skills up to date

Year 9 Chemistry - chemical changes. The challenge is on - how large can you grow a crystal?

Year 10 chemical changes this week. Great example of the indicator rainbow from the preproom.

Coming soon to a year 7 skeletal system lesson

Another successful open evening completed. It was great to meet and engage with so many of our prospective students and parents. As always Elvis was on hand to supervise

When the weather isn't the best for Year 11 to look at distribution and abundance - we have a handy indoor field to use thanks to our creative and crafty science technicians.

Find out what’s happening in Chemistry… Sixth Form Open Evening

Snails, party poppers and vinegar - it must be The Sixth Form @ de Ferrers open evening

11C1 physicists worked on electric motors last week.

The cloud chamber was out for Year 13's nuclear and particle physics lesson today - looking for alpha and the occasional beta tracks

Our technician team - keen to bring new practical ideas to the classroom.

Year 13 Chemistry students took learning to the lab! 🧪🔍 Using NMR, Mass Spec, and Infrared Spectroscopy, they uncovered the identity of an unknown compound—and even met ‘Dr. Death’ on the way out! 💀✨ #Chemistry #Spectroscopy #LabLife The de Ferrers Academy de Ferrers Science

Science club have been investigating natural dyes over the last few weeks. Here's the final results - some great colours

Last day of term saw the de Ferrers Science techs meet up for their in-house CPD session and the results of the Xmas prep room challenge. Great science, practical techniques and creativity. Love being part of this team!

Today Granville Academy are hosting the #IETFaradayChallengeDay, with teams from The Pingle Academy and The de Ferrers Academy. A great day so far with some fantastic ideas being generated by all the teams. #Engineering #FutureEngineers #NextGeneration #STEM @IETeducation

We are proud to announce that Team 3 from The de Ferrers Academy were the winners of last week's first ever cross-trust IET Faraday challenge day with their new invention “Tablet Time”. Both the deFerrers teams worked incredibly hard showing resilience and tenacity in their projects.
