Questions and Answers
Please click the links below to see answers to some questions you may have.
Q1. Is Science Week optional?
Yes, Science Week is completely optional and students who do not wish to take part will be in their normal timetabled lessons.
Q2. I have done one of the activities before, can I do them again?
Please do not pick an activity you have done before, let others have the opportunity.
Q3. I have noticed that some of the sessions require a contribution. Is this a requirement?
Unfortunately, the contributions are necessary to attend the session, however if you are eligible for Free School Meals then we have financial support to enable you to attend.
Students, please make sure that parents / carers are fully aware of any contributions before you sign up to a session.
Q4. What if I no longer wish to attend a workshop?
Please make sure you let us know by either emailing the Science Department or pop into the Science Office to let us know.
This will enable another student to attend the workshop.

Q5. Will I be with my friends?
Due to sign-ups being put into a randomised generator, you may or may not be put with your friends.
The sessions with more spaces available, mean there is more of a chance you will be with your friends.
We really hope you join the Science Department in celebrating British Science Week 2026 and take advantage of the amazing opportunities.
