Students at St Luke’s Church of England School have been treated to a day of scientific discovery and inspiration, thanks to an exciting visit from the Exeter Science Centre. 

The hands-on workshops and interactive sessions created an unforgettable experience that brought science to life and inspired curiosity in students across all year groups.

The visit featured a range of stimulating activities designed to deepen students’ understanding of key STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) concepts, while also encouraging them to think like scientists by asking questions, testing ideas, and exploring real-world problems.

The visit is part of the school’s ongoing commitment to providing engaging, future-focused learning experiences that prepare students to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

The school, which is part of the Ted Wragg Trust, is already looking forward to building on the success of the visit by incorporating more practical science enrichment into its curriculum and hopes to welcome Exeter Science Centre back very soon.

The Exeter Science Centre is building a network of innovative, community-led science centres across the South West, starting in Exeter and Barnstaple, to engage the public with global challenges, local research, and practical solutions. Rooted in local expertise and designed with sustainability in mind, these centres aim to inspire informed, proactive global citizens. 

Mr Harrison Littler, Headteacher at St Luke’s C of E School said:

“The energy and excitement in the room were contagious, we are incredibly grateful to Exeter Science Centre for providing such a memorable and enriching experience. It’s moments like these that inspire a lifelong love of learning and a passion for science.”

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust said:

“Science and STEM education are critical to empowering young people to understand and shape the world around them. We’re proud to support schools like St Luke’s that offer these kinds of impactful, curiosity-driven opportunities.”
