WYKEHAM Primary School has won a national prize for its science teaching.
At an annual awards show held at the Science Museum in London, the school was picked out of 2,000 entries from across the country to be given the 2016 Rolls-Royce Science Prize for "its innovative project that ignited children's natural curiosity about the world around them".
Wykeham's Science through Multi-Sensory Art (SMArt) project enabled children to develop their knowledge of scientific concepts.
Teacher Rowena Thorp, project lead, said: "Combining creativity and practical hands-on exercises really works. Our pupils have retained their understanding of science subjects gained from the various experiences.
"Winning the Rolls-Royce Science Prize crowns a fantastic year, in which everyone - pupils, parents and staff - have all been engaged, entertained and educated."
