Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM)
VISION:
We believe every pupil is a potential scientist, engineer, technologist and mathematician!
​
PRINCIPLES:
EXPLORE: Look at different ways to solve problems.
PLAY: Allow children to investigate real-life problems with practical resources.
DEVELOP: Allow opportunities for children to present their solutions.
LINK: Inspire and support every single child to understand how this affects their future lives.
​
AWE:
Children grow up understanding what STEM means; have the skills they need to succeed in STEM subjects in further and higher education; develop important life-skills in relation to the world they live; and have high aspirations for their future careers.

Spotlight on STEM
Science, technology, engineering and maths are becoming
increasingly important for our future. At Ryders Hayes we aim to
foster inquiring minds, logical reasoning, and collaboration to
prepare them for a world where they will use these skills. We provide
a wealth of opportunities for pupils to engage in practical
investigation making links between science, maths, technology and
developing engineering skills. This helps to encourage critical and
creative thinking and makes the acquisition of knowledge and skills
relevant and interesting.
We are a Rolls-Royce Science and Technology Prize Winner! which
means our STEM project, funded and supported by Rolls-Royce, has won a prize out of 6 other schools finalists across the country - see the dedicated STEM Project pages on our website (https://www.ryders-hayes.co.uk/school/our-community/ryders-hayes-stem-project) to find out how pupils have benefitted from this project. This has been a catalyst for bringing coding and science learning together as we implement SAM Labs across the curriculum which engages pupils and encourages working collaboratively aswell as critical thinking and creativity.
From April 2022 - July 2024, Ryders Hayes was the lead school in managing a STEM Enthuse Partnership involving 10 schools - 8 primary schools, 1 first school and 1 secondary. We embarked on a collaborative STEM project to raise pupil aspirations in STEM subjects, offered bespoke staff CPD and provided inspirational pupil enrichment activities to promote STEM careers with a digital focus. This is funded and supported by STEM Learning: www.stem.org.uk. Read our newsletters here:
We are embarking on new adventures as we move forward and look to creating an Ogden Trust partnership to focus on physics across our region to further raise aspirations and encourage more girls into the sector. We are also applying to run a RSC project to find out whether robots will take over the world! Watch this space!
