More than 150 members of our wonderful community joined us on Thursday 5th February for the launch of STEM Rising, marking the start of an ambitious fundraising campaign to transform science and DT facilities for our students. 

The evening began with hot drinks and chocolate brownies on arrival and a short welcome address. Visitors were then invited to tour our current DT and science facilities and view impressive exhibitions and demonstrations from staff and students. There was also an opportunity to experience an interactive session inspiring STEM subjects led by alumnus Robert Sloan (class of 1997), now the Senior Creative Innovations Manager at Disney. The evening concluded with excellent talks from current students and TWGSB alumni including former head boy Harry Francis (class of 2020) and Robert Sloan. Their words affirmed our own belief: our young people deserve learning spaces that match their potential, not the outdated 1950s classrooms they currently work in. Harry was also involved with our
first-ever capital campaign which raised funds for the superb Sixth Form Study Centre.  
Seeing everyone together in the school hall with such openness to support and invest in our students, was genuinely inspiring.  

As we now take the first steps toward raising the £1.5 million required, we are inviting ALL our parents to consider offering donations to this campaign please, while for those who can, we hope you will Buy-a-Brick as your signature of support for our students here at Campaign | TWGSB Connect.

Thank you in advance for accompanying us on this empowering journey for our children as they 'Touch the Future, Today!'
