At Stuart Road, we offer our children a diverse range of STEAM activities across all year groups. We follow a curriculum which immerses children into STEAM as part of their everyday learning; this is incorporated within curriculum areas such as history and geography.
Use this page to follow our latest STEAM projects within school, as well as links to a range of home learning activities. If you complete any, we'd love you to share them with us so that we can share your achievements! Send pictures or videos via eSchools or Teams to your teachers. Have fun!
