Hillstone Primary school visit KESH

On Thursday 9th October, two Year 5 classes came over to experience a flavour of learning at our Academy by taking part in two workshops delivered by our staff specialists in Science - Ms Cashmore and Mr Cave.

The visit was a continuation of the King Edward VI Foundations’ work on fostering links between primary and secondary schools.

The children got to further develop their prior learning and experience of the Human Body in specialist classrooms by taking part in two bespoke Masterclasses. There was an opportunity to learn how our digestive system works, using materials to recreate the process. There was also the opportunity to learn how our skeleton system works and how all those bones support gait and movement.

It was a pleasure having the students from Hillstone spend time with us in our Academy.

We look forward to carrying on making links with a range of primary schools in our area and giving students a taste of what secondary school is like in preparation for making school choices in Year 6.
