Our keen environmentalists were at the Buxton Climate Conference today! Students met different environmental organisations, questioned councilors from @HighPeakBC @Derbyshirecc about their plans to help the environment and shared our schools projects. #ClimateAction #COP27

I asked staff to send a shout out to any sixth former who is impressing them with their work ethic, positive attitude, performance etc and these are only half of the responses I received! Proof if needed that our 6th formers have made a great start to the new academic year ☺️

It was a pleasure and a privilege to welcome ex BCS Sixth Former, Dr Sophie Nixon to school today. She gave a fascinating talk on her microbiology research work at The University of Manchester. What an inspirational woman! ☺️@OfficialUoM @SophieLNixon

Piano Shape 🎹 A lot of pianos looks like an exponential because for waves on a string, doubling length means reducing a music pitch by an octave (2x the frequency).

Year 12 had a great time seeing @MarcusduSautoy at @BuxtonOpHouse. Such a great conversation about our favourite things...calculus, logarithms, exponentials, proof and how to think better, as we keep saying...be lazy and efficient! @buxtonfringe @BCSchool1 @BCS6thform ➕🧮➗🟰

Plus we found past student Ed (now a maths undergraduate), had ice-cream and played sardines in the park. We might have also had our calculators signed. Can't wait to get reading "Thinking Better - The Art of the Shortcut"!
