In a brilliant year group assembly, the Sixth Form Science Ambassadors delivered a powerful message about curiosity, courage, and intellectual discovery. Their presentation, central to this year’s Science Week, encouraged pupils across all year groups to embrace the art of asking big questions – questions that challenge assumptions, spark discussion, and deepen understanding.
The ambassadors spoke about scientific inquiry as a mindset rather than a subject, emphasising that the greatest breakthroughs often begin with a simple, brave question. Whether pondering the mysteries of the universe, exploring the limits of human biology, or investigating environmental change, the assembly highlighted that science thrives on curiosity.
What made this assembly particularly impactful was its strong connection to the School’s values and learning dispositions. Pupils were reminded of the value of being inquisitive – of wondering, probing, and seeking clarity even when answers may be complex or uncertain. Equally, the ambassadors celebrated the importance of being brave, one of our learning dispositions – stepping forward with ideas, challenging existing views, and engaging with concepts that might initially feel daunting.
As Science Week unfolds across the School, the assembly sets the tone for a week of exploration, reflection, and discovery. The Sixth Form Science Ambassadors have once again demonstrated the power of pupil leadership – reminding everyone that science is not just about answers, but about the bold, curious questions that inspire us all to learn more.
We are very excited for our first-ever House ‘escape room’ challenge today, and a whole School Science Quiz, during Friday reflection.
