Welcome to Kentmere Academy

Learners across Watergrove Trust have been diving head-first into #BritishScienceWeek 2026, proving that our schools are full of future scientists, engineers, and innovators! 🧪✨

From our youngest researchers testing ramp heights to other learners tackling the "Great British Biscuit Dunk" (congratulations to the victorious Custard Cream! 🍪), the energy and scientific rigour have been incredible.

Highlights from across the Trust:
🌱 Early Years: Planting "fairy seeds" and building boats for Rosie the Engineer.
🚀 Physics in Action: Testing gravity and mastering aerodynamics with balloon rockets.
🧬 Human Biology: Investigating if leg length affects jump distance.
🏗️ Engineering: Mastering buoyancy with marble-filled boats and designing habitats for Komodo dragon eggs.

At Watergrove, we believe in hands-on, practical #STEM education that sparks a lifelong love of learning. Well done to every single learner for showing such fantastic teamwork and curiosity!

British Science Week Family Challenge! 🔧

To celebrate British Science Week, we’re inviting our pupils to take part in the “If You Were an Engineer, What Would You Do?” project by Primary Engineer.

💡 Your challenge:
• Think of a problem in the world (big or small)
• Invent something unique to help solve it
• Draw, colour and label your invention (A4 paper)
• Write a short description explaining how it works

Families are encouraged to work together and share ideas!

Please return entries to school by Monday 23rd March 2026.
Your design will be entered into the national Primary Engineer competition.

We’ve seen ideas like “Sea Cleaners” and a “Solar-Powered Blanket” — now it’s time to create something NEW and exciting!

We can’t wait to see our young engineers’ inventions!
