Celebration Assembly 25th April 2025
On Friday 25th April, we were very privileged to have Dr James Balkwill present our Big Science winners with certificates. Dr Balkwill began by explaining his connections with the school (his own children had attended years ago) and his scientific background. He explained about how important it is to be curious, investigate and ask questions - books with all the Science we read about have only come into being from scientists, like our St Andrew's pupils, being investigated and often not getting the results they expected. Searching for truth is crucial and Science is one of the ways to do that; to gain knowledge and understanding is essential. He had seen a lot of the Big Science in St Andrew's School this year, either in process or at the end result, and with Ms Sian Davies (our Science lead) had decided on the 3rd, 2nd and 1st places for this year. After the 3rd, 2nd and 1st places were announced for each Key Stage 2 class, the overall winners - Prabal and Guiseppe (Year 6) - were presented with the Magnus Smyth trophy.
