Maths in the Wider World | Community Lectures | Thursday 15th October 6pm
We will be hosting a series of lectures over the course of the year covering a wide array of topics. The intention is to relate school subjects to a wider range of contexts and specialities not typically explored in the curriculum or to provide greater depth to subjects which are taught.
These lectures are open to students from all schools in the local area and specifically aimed at students from Years 9-11 and their parents/guardians. We ask that all pupils are accompanied by a parent/guardian. Visiting school staff are, of course, also most welcome, as are members of the public. The lectures will be delivered by staff from Wellingborough School and, where appropriate, additional guest speakers. There is no charge for these lectures, and simple refreshments will be available on the night at a nominal cost.
The inaugural lecture will be “Maths in the Wider World” on Thursday 15th October starting at 18:00. This lecture will include, amongst other areas, Maths & Infectious Diseases and Maths & Music.
For pupils/parents: If you and your child are interested in attending, please contact your child’s school to book your place.
For any other queries: Please contact Bronwyn Ryan at bcr@wellingboroughschool.org
Pupils develop notably strong self-understanding and self-belief from an early stage, meeting the schools' stated aim to encourage pupils to discover their potential and to decide who they want to be. This is because of the focus given to encouraging self-confidence by the schools' leadership and the support provided by committed staff.
