We are delighted to report on the success of the town’s first Imagineering Club which is up and running at St James Middle School, funded by the trust.

A group of enthusiastic Year 7 and 8 pupils are, this term making an electric car in the first of three projects in the year-long after school club. Led by Tracey Hunt, Head of Design at St James, and supported by sixth form Vinten Ambassadors from Bury St Edmunds County Upper School and by a STEM  Ambassador (encouraging Science , Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)  from Thales, one of the town’s two “Vinten” companies, the students are learning useful new skills as well as gaining a deeper understanding of the world of engineering. The Vinten Trust is keen to support other Imagineering Clubs and Middle School staff can gain more information by contacting the clerk.
