On Monday 5^th March 2018, staff and students left Limehurst Academy full of excitement on route to PGL’s Caythorpe Court site in Lincolnshire. From the outset it was obvious this was going to be a fun packed trip based on the energy echoing around the inside of the bus. On arrival at PGL we were greeted in the usual PGL style with our very helpful and enthusiastic group leader, Adam, welcoming us to Caythorpe Court.

Limehurst has been given the fantastic opportunity to provide Maths and English mentors to some of our year ten students.  The mentors are provided through Pathways, the group of universities working in Leicester, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland as part of the National Collaborative Outreach Programme.  The partners involved offer activities, in collaboration with universities, school, colleges and training providers, to young people which help them to think about their future, encourage them to fulfil their potential and consider the options that are available to them which might include higher education.

The workshop was run by Loughborough University student Kathryn Brown, who is undertaking her Masters’ Degree in Civil Engineering. Engineering, in all its forms, is about problem solving; the students that attended this workshop were tasked with trying to build a stable structure that would withstand an earthquake.
