Scholars' Showcase

Magnolian 2019/2020 | An extraordinary year

Scholars' Showcase 2020

This term our academic scholars were due to showcase their talents at the annual Scholars' Evening event.

Instead, they have used their time productively during lockdown, producing a fascinating range of work which demonstrates their many skills and passions.

Welcome to our 2020 virtual showcase, which celebrates the work of our academic scholars, alongside a variety of pieces from our design & enterprise, creative writing and art scholars.

Poetic voices

Our creative writing scholars enjoy writing poetry on issues and ideas that capture their imagination. We hope you find this year's emerging voices as compelling and inspiring as we do.

Mechanical carDesign and Technology

Scholar, Medeea G. (Year 10) designed and built a mechanical car from scratch:

"I built this car from an old tool kit I received when I was younger, and it was a great way to relax, whilst doing something productive! It looks and works like a miniature lawn mower although it can go backwards too. I enjoyed making it and developing my STEM skills, as well as having fun!" Medeea G.
