The Big Lecture

This annual event has been delivered by our scientist in residence for the last three years, where he has talked about space and his adventures in this field. 100 children from four different schools gather to listen to the presentation and ask questions afterwards.

Aims

Our resident scientist has developed an extension programme for local state schools to enhance their teaching and learning in several areas.

Background

This was established as part of our Alleyn's 400th Celebrations and will continue on an annual basis.

Resources

A wide range of Alleyn's School facilities are used for the workshops to enhance the experience for the children.  Alleyn's Junior School staff lead and organise all the workshops that are offered.

Impact

This is an extension programme aimed at enhancing the current teaching and learning at the children's own schools.  

Pupil Involvement

Both genders and pupils from Year 5 are involved.

Frequency

This is now being established as an annual event.
