We are also delighted to be sponsoring inspirational physicist, author and science communicator, Jim Al-Khalili, giving an insight into the golden age of Arabic science. “We will also be playing a big role in the

local, national and international debate featuring some of the most intelligent,
creative and cutting edge thinkers alive today. They will be able to get ‘up close and personal’ with interviews, event meetings, Q&As and with the writers who will be visiting our school. “The festival inspires, challenges,
entertains and delivers a world-class artistic programme; being part of it is an honour for the school and it will certainly be an exciting experience for our girls.”

An apple for the teacher
WHAT DO you do when your garden is littered with windfall apples? How do you entertain and nourish thirsty children? Sandroyd school’s answer was to invest in an apple press. A resourceful member of staff donated the equipment, while the children, parents and grandparents donated their apples from home. This was an opportunity for pupils
who boarded, and was initially specifically for the seniors, until the juniors begged to join in. It became one of the most popular of the many evening activities. Using the ‘scratter’, which pulverises and breaks up the apples, occupied one group, while other groups operated the presses by using all their strength to screw down the tops, ultimately rewarded by catching the golden liquid in jugs beneath. The tasty juice was then served for
breakfast the following morning – a lip- smacking treat for everyone and a great team effort!)
