G&T Programmes
The primary G&T sessions are aimed at allowing the more able to flourish in a secure and positive environment whilst being challenged by exciting contemporary investigations. The focus is on a cross-curriculum dimension weaving science, technology, and maths with deduction, problem-solving, creativity and literacy in stimulating contemporary scenarios.
Murder Mystery
Use your deductive and scientific skills to determine if Miss Terri Body was murdered.
Miss Terri Body had been reported missing with no sign of the body. Crime Scene Investigators enter her home where they find evidence of what might have caused her disappearance. Is she alive or is she dead? We need your help to investigate the scene, take samples, analyse the evidence and write up a forensic report on the possible time and cause of her disappearance.

Rapid Response
The ‘Rapid Response' team of volunteer disaster relief engineers are set up to minimise the aftermath problems associated with a large calamity in a remote developing devastation zone directly after a hurricane disaster.
Imagine dealing with the aftermath of the 2004 Tsunami in Asia or Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans in 2005. Large numbers of deaths at the time of the event are often followed by as large or larger numbers of death afterwards! Often this is just the lack of clean drinking water and sanitation with people suffering from dehydration and water borne pathogens such as Cholera.
Dealing with the real event of Hurricane Mitch in Honduras generates a cross-curricula dimension. Engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, maths and communication skills are used, developing the life skills of pupils. The workshop starts with a news flash followed by a scene setting of the normal life in Honduras and the results of the disaster. Pupils will be contracted to the disaster relief programme through the international organisation - RedR-IHE. They will have a briefing pack on the estimated damage and assess then prioritise the relief requirements needed to get fresh water and supplies to the region.

Spy Training Camp
Or Ura Umknnu! Training for the would-be spy uses pupils' imagination, science, reasoning and observational skills to develop ideas and communication skills to produce a dossier of facts.
How can you write coded and invisible messages that only the right person can read or know if someone has entered your room or is behind you without looking around? When is a fact a fact? Use science, observation, reasoning skills and geography to become a first class MI6 agent as pupils work through the techniques to write invisible messages and decode agents' directions and learn about the art of disguise and interrogation.

Young Detectives
Detectives use forensic tests and their interrogating skills to unravel clues after the arrest of a young suspect.
Jamie was seen by a neighbour running away from a shop where a robbery had taken place that same evening. Was he involved or not? After reading the police report you must interview the neighbour and Jamie, undertake forensic tests and piece the story together to determine the sequence of events that happened that evening. Should Jamie be released or not? It is your decision!
