Our Vision: We aim to nurture engineers of the future by encouraging curiosity, critical thinking and creativity.

At Stoneyholme, we aim to inspire the next generation of engineers by targeting children from a young age. We provide the opportunity for them to explore the vast world of engineering and develop key skills for life, such as becoming critical thinkers and discovering varying solutions to different problems within a developing world.

Our aim is to challenge stereotypes at a young age before they become ingrained in the children's understanding of engineering. 

Disciplinary Concepts for Engineering

The children also consider our whole school concept questions throughout learning in engineering.

What does it mean to be a citizen? 

Does equality always mean treating everybody the same?

Is power always a positive thing?

Does change always make things better?

Is trade necessary?

Is being part of a community the same for everyone?
