‘Spanning age ranges of 9 to 19 our main objective is to help change the perceptions of science, technology, engineering and maths by creating a fun and exciting learning environment for young people to develop an informed view about careers in engineering, Formula One, science, marketing and technology.

F1 in Schools is the only global educational programme that raises awareness of STEM and Formula One among students and school children in every region, in every country, on every continent.’
We would like to thank the PTFA for helping us with a whopping £300 donation, the Business Manager Mr Webster and Mr Wood for payment of the accommodation costs and costs involved for the display stand. The school have supported this venture and without their help our teams would not be able to compete. Thank you to all!
