Mr Potts organised a trip to the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy for girls to experience careers in STEM. Please see some reports below from students who attended.
Please see the comments below for some feedback from the Department for Education:
"I just wanted to get in touch to say thank you very much for attending the Grow from your STEM event last week. It was a pleasure to meet your students, who were all incredibly engaged and asked really insightful questions, not just on STEM careers but also on topics like wellbeing, confidence, and dealing with life’s obstacles. One of our speakers got in touch afterwards to say that she herself had felt inspired by the conversations being had and this is down to how open the students were!"
