The theme for Science Week this year is ‘Curiosity’, with Mr Bedford describing the work of Newton, Fleming and several other scientists who had observed things and been curious enough to wonder how and why. With demonstrations of indicators and gas tests, perhaps they were also able to inspire curiosity in some future Priory pupils!
