In this talk you will hear from Former Head of Science Brian Stockwell (1975 – 2001) talk about his work on the first British School Science Experiment to be sent to space whilst teaching at Ashford School. In March 1985, Ashford School won the ITN Competition, which provided them with the opportunity to send an experiment into space. Somewhere around 50 girls and 9 staff worked on the project over the next 7 years. The project was launched into space on 12 September 1992 and was watched by 12 of the girls who worked on the project.

In this talk, you will hear about Geoffrey Chaucer and “The Canterbury Tales”, about the dangers of pilgrimage, and about kings, queens, princes, traffic, murder, and hospitality, with Jenny Watson-Bore (Former English Teacher)
