What’s On
During the second term, all Year 3 students at The English School participated in the Erasmus+ DataScEd4CiEn STEAM project “Every Bite Counts: Tackling Food Waste Together”. The project used Data Science to examine the causes and consequences of food waste and to consider practical ways of reducing waste at home and in the wider community.
The learning scenario brought together PSHCE, Mathematics, Science, English, Design & Technology and Computer Science. Students analysed authentic datasets using CODAP, compared food waste patterns, explored composting and biogas production, and considered the environmental, social and economic effects of food waste.
Students then designed practical outcomes, including sustainable food packaging, QR-linked recipes using leftover ingredients, awareness videos, podcasts, presentations and a collaborative digital cookbook. The project linked data literacy with scientific enquiry, communication, design and responsible citizenship.

During the second term, all Year 2 students at The English School took part in the Erasmus+ DataScEd4CiEn STEAM project “What is the True Cost of Your Clothes?” The project asked students to examine the ethical, environmental and economic effects of the fast fashion industry through Data Science and interdisciplinary learning.
The scenario connected PSHCE, Mathematics, Science, English, Art, Design & Technology and Computer Science. Students analysed authentic datasets using CODAP, considered working conditions in garment production, examined textile waste and water use, and evaluated how consumer choices affect people and the environment.
Students also developed practical responses. They repaired, reused and upcycled textiles, produced awareness campaigns, and created digital presentations, websites, posters and short videos to communicate their findings. The project gave students a structured way to use data, evidence and design thinking to address a real-world issue.
