Students lead by example at primary school science workshops

The month of June saw class 7BSc3, led by Ms Andreas, take on the role of Science Ambassadors by delivering workshops to local primary schools.

Visiting students were able to participate in seven different workshops and were taught by Teddington School pupils about the methods and key scientific phenomena to explain their observations.

The workshops were just brilliant: the experiment station set up, the breadth of investigations, the children's knowledge, and the way they engaged my Year 5s was all wonderful."
