Year 10 students attend Study Higher Academic Conference
This month, ten Year 10 students visited Wolfson College to attend a Study Higher Science Conference, hosted by the University of Oxford, in partnership with University of Reading.
The visit was a great opportunity for students considering further studies in science to be introduced to the related subjects that are available at university. The main focus was on subjects such as Earth Sciences (Geology), Zoology, Maths and Engineering.

Students worked in small teams to experience first-hand how to build a basic robotic device, being a remote-controlled car.
