Inspire Me: celebrating Ada Lovelace Day
The Stephen Perse Foundation is playing host to the first ever ‘Code
& Chips’ - a hands-on science event run by ARM and Hacklab. It’s
part of Ada Lovelace Day (Tuesday 13th October) and schools across
Cambridgeshire have been invited. The event will be filled with Raspberry
Pi workshops, demonstrations and hands-on exhibits provided by ARM,
the Cambridge Science Centre’s mobile roadshow and more. All Year

Production of ‘Road’
Thursday 26th November and Friday the 27th November at
7.30pm in the Senior School Hall
An unpopular leader is re-elected, the country lives in fear of
terrorist attacks and is still reeling from the effects of recession.
But for the inhabitants of a Lancashire street, there’s a party
to go to. Jim Cartwright’s play is an arresting mix of humour
and pathos, transporting the audience with energy, passion and
poetry, leaving you uplifted and reminded of the extraordinary
resilience of the human spirit. Performed by students in Year
11 - 13. Please note: this play is only suitable for 14+
