The annual Nuffield Celebration Evening held on Tuesday 13 November at Esher College was a huge success with over 40 students presenting their projects on displays to some 200 guests, parents and supervisors.  The students amazed their guests with the range of projects they had completed and the standard they had achieved – many will be included in forthcoming publications.  The main guest was Professor Danielle Schreve from Royal Holloway, University of London, who spoke about the challenges faced by science in the coming years and how important it is to promote the kind of programmes offered by the Nuffield Foundation.  She herself had been a supervisor to a student this year and had experienced first-hand the enthusiasm portrayed by these sixth formers in carrying out their placements. Professor Schreve presented all the students present with their Certificate of participation and Gold CREST Awards.  

Angel Hall, Director of Science Education at the Nuffield Foundation, spoke of the changes to the placement programme for next year and Jon Tickle, SATRO Patron, expressed his delight at the students’ work and ability to articulate so clearly to the visitors.   Denise Balmer, SATRO Nuffield Co-ordinator, outlined the programme for next year and thanked Esher College for once again hosting the evening.
