Last Friday was Techognition day – a day to celebrate the work of science technicians and the enormous contribution they make to science education.
The technicians’ prep rooms at the school are particularly busy places with over 400 A Level pupils and nearly 600 GCSE pupils to cater for. In the lead up to the day, the chemistry department asked A Level pupils to write about how practical work had contributed to their experience of learning chemistry. The department’s teachers then posted these comments all over the chemistry corridor for the technicians to see. A large cake was also involved. Thank you to all of our superb technicians!
