British Science Week takes place between the 10th and 19th of March 2017. The majority of the events at Chantry took place on Friday 17th of March. We had the entire day devoted to enrichment activities relating to the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). The aim of all of the activities was to:

• Engage every student in a range of STEM enrichment activities
• Raise the profile of STEM subjects at Chantry
• Help the students see the fun side of STEM
