L6th Form Strategy Day - Innovation in Action

Our L6^th Form Strategy Day was a fantastic showcase of imagination, teamwork and entrepreneurial flair. After a morning briefing, pupils were split into teams and set an exciting challenge: to design a product that solves a real-world travel problem. From the very start, pupils threw themselves into the task with enthusiasm. Ideas began to take shape quickly and by lunchtime the atmosphere was buzzing. 3D printers were running, marketing campaigns were being drafted and teams were rehearsing their final pitches.

At 3pm, the judging panel comprising our Headmaster and guest expert Julian Bond (Architect, UCL Product Designer and Royal College of Art alumnus) gathered to review moodboards and listen to a series of impressive presentations.

The range and quality of ideas were outstanding, including:

• A wearable UV detector to support sun safety
• A backpack that transforms into a camp chair and tent, ideal for travellers on the move
• A high-tech backpack filled with gadgets and designer appeal
• A safety ring to help detect and prevent drink spiking
• And the winning concept, CultureWise, a thoughtful travel app that raises awareness of cultural appropriation and promotes respectful, informed travel

Each team demonstrated sharp thinking, creativity and excellent collaboration throughout the day. The judges were particularly impressed by how well pupils responded to real-world issues with practical, user-focused solutions.

A huge thank you to our judges for their time and insight, and congratulations to all participants, especially Team CultureWise, our well-deserved winners. The day was a clear reminder of the incredible potential in our Sixth Form community.
