On Thursday Marden were delighted to host a lecture from the Institute of Physics, coordinated by Mr. Swain.  Year 9 and 10 students attended the ‘Defying Gravity’ event, as well as many other schools from the North East, and enjoyed a fascinating talk given by astrophysicist Laura Thomas about Gravity and Space Travel.

Here is a photograph of Laura during the talk and a snap of Laura being inteviewed afterwards by Max and Ben from Year 8 for their future BBC News School Report.
