STEAM

What is STEAM?

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths. These subjects are often taught in isolation; however all the disciplines are closely intertwined in the real world. STEAM activities aim to reflect and enhance this integration.

We aim to enhance the curriculum delivered at TGS through a variety of lunchtime clubs and projects and well as encouraging participation in external competitions and courses.

Opportunities include:

Competitions such as:
- British Biology Olympiad,
- Biology Challenge,
- The Big Bang Competition,
- Cambridge Year 12 Challenge,
- Top of the Bench (Y10),
- Chemistry Olympiad,
- Physics Olympiad, Crest Awards, Industry Cadets (Y9)and Physics Challenge.
STEAM clubs (KS3, KS4 and KS5) providing students with the giving the chance to explore climate and environmental change related activities.
