Congratulations to our team of Year 10 students who took part in the Amey Engineering Challenge Day 2026, and won!

Engineers Sonia, Neil, Mark, Olly and Ella who led the challenge, were thrilled with the enthusiasm which the students showed. Thirteen Year 10 students took part in the challenge together with students from Coop School, Bebbington, to mark Women in Engineering Day and really "got stuck in" from the word go on the day.

They worked in teams led by current engineers to design a way of making The Strand more accessible for all users - drivers, cyclists and all pedestrians,  working in small teams with an engineer using drawing tools to design, measure, cost and support their ideas.

The afternoon involved team and individual activities in Hazard Awareness and Road Traffic Bingo.

The students were fabulous ambassadors for the school. Well done to Laura, Mollie, Ellie, Phoebe, Olivia, Heidi, Ciara, Sophie, Isabelle, Darcy, Isabella, Olivia and Charlotte and huge thanks to Amey Engineering for hosting the day's events.
