Engineering

Engineering at Ashfold blends creativity with scientific thinking, challenging pupils to explore how the principles of physics shape the modern world. From the forces that power our everyday lives to the structures, machines and materials that shape our future, pupils are encouraged to think like engineers — solving problems, designing solutions and embracing the thrill of invention.

Practical learning is central to our approach. Pupils might design and build bridges to test structural strength, create working circuits, or investigate the science behind renewable energy. Through hands-on projects and open-ended challenges, they develop the resilience and independence needed to tackle real-world problems.

We want every pupil to leave Ashfold understanding that engineering is not just about theory, but about innovation, creativity and the ability to make a difference. By blending scientific knowledge with imagination, our pupils are encouraged to see themselves as future designers, builders and changemakers.
