The collaborative event is one of the final trust-wide enrichment activities to take place this academic year and is a showcase of STEM teaching and learning.

Year 6 pupils and staff have worked incredibly hard to make this year's event bigger and better. The Box Car Rally is an incredible final celebration for Year 6 pupils, before they move on to secondary school. Memories made will last far beyond the finish line.
