DA VINCI ACADEMY
Rossall is dedicated to providing opportunities to all local children, and we are delighted to be able to deliver a series of STEM activities to children in years 4 and 5 across the local community.
The Rossall Da Vinci Academy will run on certain Saturday across the calendar year and will involve a mixture of fun sessions spanning Astronomy, Mathematics, Design Technology, Science, Lego Coding and Classics!
Each Academy morning will consist of two activities and be followed by lunch in Rossall School’s Dining Hall.
The Academy is designed to inspire pupils in Years 4 and 5 by providing them with a unique opportunity to develop their critical thinking and creative skills. They will have the opportunity to expand their scientific knowledge and take part in practical science and design.
