STEM

When it comes to the future workforce, at St Gerard’s we understand the future is now, and the children we empower today we’ll thank for shaping the breakthroughs of tomorrow. Like many important breakthroughs, it all starts in the classroom. The intent of our STEM learning is to introduce our pupils to new ideas and to show every child that there is no limit to what their ambitions can be. 

The concept of STEM learning is to combine Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths to create something that is greater than the sum of its individual parts. Combining these subjects together helps our pupils understand how the subjects can be applied in real life. 

Collaboration

We strive to raise our children’s aspirations in the field of STEM by providing hands on, stimulating curriculum days, where expert visitors visit and provide STEM activities. These are sometimes topic related or promote other areas the national curriculum.
