Trips and Visits

Big Bang Fair

Wednesday 11 March 2020

All Year 7 pupils are invited to join the Science Department for a voyage of discovery on Wednesday 11 March 2020 exploring virtual reality, medicine, marine biology, film and TV, space exploration, explosive chemistry, crime-solving, robots, computer coding, microscopic bugs, giant trucks and more at the NEC’s Big Bang Fair.

Pupils will have the opportunity to see how what they learn at schools is used by real people in real jobs. They will get the chance to hear from inspiring engineers and scientists from some of the UK’s biggest companies and find out about the opportunities available in science and engineering.

We will leave Princethorpe College by coach at 9.00am and return by 3.30pm in time for bus services home. Pupils are expected to wear full school uniform and to bring a packed lunch. There are refreshment stands at the NEC, so pupils are permitted to bring a small amount of money. The cost of the trip is £5.00 to cover transportation costs (entry tickets are free). This fee will be added to your Trinity term bill.
