• Winners at the Primary Engineers Awards!

  Tue 18 Apr 2023 Mr Bell

  Today saw two teams of engineers from year 2 and year 4 pick up  awards at the Primary Engineers celebration event. To say we are proud would be a huge understatement. These children worked hard to design and create locomotives with the help of Gemma (our expert from ‘Stadler Rail’) and they showcased their efforts in  the best possible way. Not only did they have to demonstrate the effectiveness of their train through load testing, straight line testing and breaking ability, but also in a thorough interview with an external panel of engineers. This is by no means an easy thing to do. Year 4 picked up the runners up prize and the year 2 train won best theme. If you would like to see our designs, medals and certificates, then look no further than our trophy cabinet.
