Rockwood Academy

At Rockwood Academy, our comprehensive STEM career provision targets all students from Years 7 to 11, offering a diverse range of activities that foster curiosity and engagement both within and beyond the science curriculum. Every student participates in key events such as British Science Week and the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

A dedicated Science and STEM club is available to Key Stage 3 students, and throughout both Key Stages, we provide targeted opportunities designed to support students in pursuing STEM pathways post-16. These opportunities include:

• Medical workshops
• Junior Engineering Educational Programs
• CSI workshops
• STEMLikeUs mentoring programme
• University Discovery Daya
• NextGen nursing

Our students have proudly represented the Academy in prestigious annual quizzes at the University of Birmingham and Oxford. Additionally, two students have been selected as Junior Genius Scholars and have secured valuable partnerships through the Generating Genius programme.

The Academy proudly champions female engagement with STEM, with every STEM activity comprising of a minimum 50% female uptake. More recently two of our female scientists secured placements on the prestigious University of Oxford EMPower residential programme.

Through these initiatives, Rockwood Academy is committed to equipping students with the skills, experiences, and opportunities necessary to thrive in STEM fields and inspire future career aspirations.

We look forward to welcoming you to Rockwood Academy.
