A Research Challenge for fifteen Ryde Academy Year 10 students took place at the University of Southampton earlier this month. It was a great opportunity for all.
The roadshow was organised by BAE Systems, who spent the morning with students from Year 7 and 8 and aims to get young people interested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) .
The Isle of Wight council have launched a six week consultation on future plans for secondary school provision in Sandown, floating a possible partnership with the Governing Body of The Bay CE Primary School.
