A Peterborough academy has hosted its first science event with invitations extended to other primary schools in the area.
Nova Primary Academy, in south Bretton. held a Twin Science event with all four primary schools within Peterborough Keys Academies Trust (PKAT).
Headteacher, Alma McGonigle, of Nova Primary Academy, who began her headship at the school in September 2021, was keen to set up Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) focus events.
Mrs McGonigle said: “We are delighted with our fresh start and our innovative school vision. Our new school motto is ‘ambitious and proud,’ and we are on a mission to create a school which enables all pupils to believe that anything is possible and that there are no limits to their potential and achievements.
Our first Twin Science event was an exceptional learning event.”
Dr Ian Young, CEO of Peterborough Keys Academies Trust said: “We are excited to be working with Twin Science, whose reputation has taken them to the United Nations Headquarters, where they have run workshops.
"At PKAT we aim to reflect their passion for educating children to see how STEM innovations can help to enhance the collective wellbeing of society, through a focus on sustainability, social awareness and responsible decision making. We are proud of Nova Primary Academy for leading the Trust’s work in this area.”
