Crumble!

Year 6 were very pleased to welcome Paul Boyd (co-founder of Boyd Education) to explore the Crumble kits we have recently purchased. Paul Boyd is a national leader in the STEM field, helping support the DfE with a number of STEM-based trials. As an education consultant and advisor, he was only too happy to help train members of our staff and demonstrate the vast potential of our newly-acquired hardware with a number of our Year 6 children.

The children had a terrific time, looking to create algorithms to program the Crumble hardware - they marvelled at its complexity, but also its simplicity. It is this explorative and problem-solving nature that we wish to nurture amongst our children and these kits - in tandem with the training our staff have experienced - will ensure that this is merely the beginning of this journey. 

We are excited that Paul is looking to come back in the near future to share his expertise with our Year 5 team. Together, in partnership, we are looking to encourage and enthuse the next generation of scientists, engineers, software developers et al.
