British Science Week takes place from 6-15 March 2026, and explores the theme "Curiosity: What's Your Question?"
To coincide with this national celebration of science, we are running our science-themed fundraiser, Curiosity Counts, in support of our Science Laboratories Refurbishment Project.
Curiosity Counts will run from 9:00am on 11th March until midnight on 12th March 2026, bringing our school community together to celebrate curiosity, creativity, and a love of Science, whilst supporting this transformative project.
Our students have a variety of activities planned and we have created an interactive periodic table for you to 'Sponsor an Element' - scroll down for details on how to do so.
We also have some challenges set out below which, on successful achievement, will unlock more funds.
Please get involved - Curiosity is Counting on You.
Watch our students say, in their own words, why they like Science
The Vision
Our refurbished lab designs will result in light and airy labs, with benches in a ‘pod style’ layout. Services will be provided in the centre of the pods, allowing each student easy access. The labs will also be equipped with perimeter worktop and storage facilities, ensuring that equipment and prepared items are available for practical sessions without impeding student worktop space, until required.
LATEST NEWS
Thanks to your extremely generous donations so far, along with the fantastic £30,000 grant from the Garfield Weston Foundation, we have already been able to complete two of the laboratories over the summer 2025 holidays. During these works, our lab contractor also identified significant cost savings, which will carry through to the refurbishment of the remaining three labs and help reduce the overall cost of the project.
The total cost of the project is now £298,831.
We are continuing to work hard to secure additional funding from other sources. In the meantime, your support remains vital.
