STEM Academy

The STEM Academy offers students who are studying science, technology, engineering and maths courses extra opportunities outside the classroom.

We aim to inform students about STEM careers and offer a range of enjoyable activities, trips and competitions to help students build friendships and enrich their studies. 

We have two STEM Learning Zones for independent study and the supportive maths and science staff work closely together to ensure that STEM students excel on their courses.

All students studying the equivalent of two A-level STEM subjects will automatically be members of the STEM Academy.
