Science, Technology & Innovation

 

Creativity, innovation and aspiration is at the heart of our provision at within Prep School. We continue to invest in STEM learning, allowing our pupils to develop a range of problem-solving skills that will benefit them throughout their academic and working lives.

 

  • The Nicol Centre including STEM, language studio and green screen technology.
  • Digital Creativity Centre incorporating augmented and virtual reality learning.
  • iMac Suite with a large number of large screen iMacs that are used for training and pupil projects. 
  • The Factory – our own Digital Design Factory, incorporating numerous production methods - 3D printer, Cricut etc.
  • a purpose build Science block with a fully equipped Junior Science laboratory and prep room.
  • House of Little Explorers, our STEAM room in Pre-Prep, a place where the children can plan, design and engineer two and three dimensional models.

 

iMac Suite

Our iMac Suite is a state-of-the-art digital learning space, equipped with an individual computer for every child, ensuring full access to technology at all times. Here, children follow an ambitious and forward-thinking curriculum that prepares them for the demands of the modern world. From coding and digital design to multimedia creation and responsible internet use, the curriculum is designed to develop both technical proficiency and creative confidence. This dynamic environment empowers pupils to become not just users of technology, but innovative thinkers and problem-solvers for the future.

The Factory

Our very own Digital Design Factory is a modern, creative space filled with tools for making and designing all kinds of products. It holds a 3D printer that can build objects from the ground up, a laser cutter that can neatly cut shapes out of different materials, and virtual reality (VR) goggles that let people step into a digital version of their designs. There's also a T-shirt printer that can print custom designs directly onto clothing. It's a place where ideas come to life for the children, whether they are creating something new, personalising a product, or experimenting with the technology. It is innovation and aspiration at another level!

Science Block

We are fortunate to have a Science laboratory where children are able to conduct basic experiments and host guests speakers such as a Doctor who might discuss the digestive system, a Dentist who will discuss their career and the importance of brushing teeth and Scientists discussing their particular field of interest.

House of Little Explorers

Slide into our world of Engineering. A place where the children can plan, design and  engineer two and three dimensional models. Our bespoke Engineering curriculum, together with our Lego-wall, enables children to create their own inventions, whilst developing their creativity, reasoning and problem solving skills.
