Aspire event  – ‘Do we have our own luck?’

On Wednesday 18 December, Year 9 and 10 students took part in an Oxplore livestream from the Ashmolean Museum, with a discussion on the big question ‘Do we have our own luck?’, deciding if luck is rooted in destiny, ritual or simple probability –  with guests from the University of Oxford. There was also a show and tell of ancient artefacts from the museum’s collection, with the opportunity for students to quiz experts in a Q&A session.

Year 9 students also took on the GCHQ Christmas Challenge –  a series of puzzles set by GCHQ puzzlers. The puzzlers encourage students aged 11-18 to think laterally and work as a team. Great fun all round!
