The trip enabled our A Level & GCSE students to learn more about and respect the local culture and helped build confidence in their German communication skills.

Last week, students had the opportunity to hear from Mandy Treptow, who spoke about her experiences of growing up in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The talk explored key aspects of life in East Germany, including education, gender roles, and living standards, providing valuable insight into topics covered in our A Level History course. Students were also able to view personal artefacts from the GDR and ask questions, bringing this period of history to life through first-hand experience.⠀ ⠀ #History #Alevels #CoombeUnity #CoombeWorldOfOpportunity⠀
Dr Koursarou:🗣️"Before the half term, our year 10 and 12 super scientists were busy in various competitions. National Scientific Thinking Challenge - 21 Y10s across a range of classes took part in the 90 minute online challenge devised by six university chemistry departments. This tested their analytical skills looking at data and graphs to spot trends, suggest hypotheses and identify anomalous results. Well done to all who took part - great work! Three Y12 A-level students took part in the Royal Society of Chemistry Analyst competition at Kingston university. Students spent the day working in the undergraduate labs against local schools to analyse the caffeine in freeze dried coffee using titration, analyse lipstick using thin layer chromatography and oil content in hand creams. Great precision seen in the practical work carried out by our students - super effort!" #CGSTeamScience #CoombeTeamScience #curious #creative #confident
