During the last week of term, we were delighted to host our third Greenpower Goblin Go-Kart Race Day, welcoming teams from local schools alongside a home education team for a fantastic day of engineering, teamwork and friendly competition.
Each team, made up of six drivers, competed against the clock, with every driver completing three laps of the race circuit before making a quick driver change in the pits. Success relied not only on speed but also on teamwork, communication and precision.
Since January, pupils have been building their own electric kit karts, developing valuable engineering skills along the way. They have learned how to follow technical instructions, interpret wiring diagrams, safely assemble mechanical components and understand how electric motors and battery systems work.
The event provided the perfect opportunity for pupils to put six months of hard work into practice, demonstrating resilience, problem-solving and excellent sportsmanship throughout the day. It was wonderful to see so much encouragement between teams, with pupils supporting one another both on and off the track.
A huge thank you to Rathbones Investment Management International for sponsoring this fantastic event and helping to inspire the next generation of engineers. We would also like to thank all of the staff and volunteers whose hard work ensured the day ran so smoothly.
Congratulations to all of the teams who took part. It was a brilliant celebration of STEM learning, collaboration and determination, and we are already looking forward to next year's event!
