During spring term ’26 BLC schools have participated in a range of exciting STEM activities. Many of the opportunities have been funded through a shared cluster science network grant with our partners at Oval Learning and Windmill Cluster, working together to develop & deliver a year-long programme of enrichment activities across schools. Activities have included all primary schools and students from Heron Academy visiting the fascinating Science Dome inflatable planetarium, with CPD opportunities for staff led by the Primary Science Teaching Trust and training for Yr 5/ 6 and Yr 7 students as ‘Science Buskers’ upskilling them to inspire the wider school community around science.
The annual BLC Science Fair hosted at St Gabriel’s College gave teams of Yr 5 pupils from seven BLC primary schools the chance to work with the science department at St Gabriel’s over a number of weeks, developing an area of scientific investigation and presenting findings to a panel of judges. Congratulations to Stockwell Primary who were awarded 1st place at the final Science Fair event.
Maths Masterclasses for able mathematicians in Yr 5 are taking place throughout the academic year, led by tutors from Kings Maths School and hosted at Evelyn Grace Academy. During spring term the masterclasses had a physics focus and took place in the science labs at EGA, giving pupils the chance to use specialist equipment and giving them a taster of science at secondary school
A Maths Times Table Challenge for Yr 4 pupils involved eight BLC schools in a closely fought contest, facilitated by Dr Grace Olugbodi from BeGenio maths games. Congratulations to the team from Archbishop Sumner Primary who took the first place trophy.
