Students applied a range of STEM skills, including problem-solving, creativity, engineering design, teamwork and communication. Individually, students demonstrated resilience, critical thinking, adaptability and leadership as they contributed ideas, tested solutions and refined their designs. The event provided an excellent opportunity to develop employability skills while gaining an insight into the diverse careers and operations at one of the world's busiest airports. We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm and determination shown by all participants. The winning teams will soon receive a Golden Ticket, granting them an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Heathrow Airport in the near future. Congratulations to everyone involved! ![](https://churchmead.org/images/IMG_1943_(1).jpeg) [ Poetry Workshop with Shagufta Iqbal](https://churchmead.org/news/2026-10-21-poetry-workshop-with-shagufta-iqbal) [Year 10 Fundraising for Alexander Devine Hospice ](https://churchmead.org/news/2026-11-03-year-10-fundraising-for-alexander-devine-hospice) ![Churchmead School](https://files.schudio.com/churchmead-school-2/images/logo/logo.png) ### Churchmead School Priory Way Datchet Berkshire SL3 9JQ 01753 211330 01753 580046 ### Useful Links - [Term Dates](https://churchmead.org/termdates) - [Contact Us](https://churchmead.org/contact) - [Office 365](https://login.microsoftonline.com/?whr=churchmead.org) ### Social Media - [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/ChurchmeadChurchOfEnglandvaSchool) - [Instagram](http://www.instagram.com/churchmead_insta/) ### Translation © Copyright 2026 Churchmead School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://churchmead.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
