This term, a group of our outstanding Year 8 students took part in University College London’s Ocean Health Challenge 2024, a prestigious national engineering design competition for secondary school and college students aged 11-18. The challenge encourages participants to create, prototype, and pitch innovative solutions that help prevent plastic pollution from reaching our oceans, while also raising awareness of the severe impact plastic has on marine life. Working together, our students produced a range of creative, well-thought-out, and ambitious designs for products and services aimed at tackling this crucial environmental issue. Their dedication and hard work in contributing to this global cause are truly commendable! We are incredibly proud of their efforts and are excited to introduce the talented students who took part in this impactful challenge, along with the innovative designs they created.
