Young Engineers Explore Innovation at Clayton Engineering
Yesterday we stepped into the shoes of engineers and researchers during a special visit to Clayton Engineering, a leading manufacturer of specialised mechanical products.
The visit was the culmination of a classroom-based project where the children formed their own “engineering team,” investigating real-world challenges and designing imaginative solutions. The trip to Clayton Engineering offered a unique opportunity to see how professional engineers work in different industries in ‘real life’
Founded in 1973 and based in Knighton, Clayton Engineering is renowned for its expertise in corrosion protection, hydraulic systems, and specialist vehicles. The children were given a behind-the-scenes look at the factory and even witnessed a demonstration of the company’s latest launch vehicle in the car park
The visit included a presentation by engineers Adam Hardwick and Dave Andrew, who answered questions prepared by the pupils, ranging from “How do you make lifeboat launchers?” to “What materials do you use?” The children also toured the workshop, donned high-visibility vests, and learned about safety procedures in a working engineering environment. Many thanks to Clayton Engineering for their hospitality. Diolch!
Planetarium

We enjoyed a visit from the Elan Valley Trust where they brought along their planetarium for us to find out more about the Solar System.
Kerbcraft
Well done to all of the pupils that have successfully completed the Kerbcraft road safety scheme. Here are some of the children collecting their certificates.
Windmills, windmills, windmills...
Another prototype by our budding engineer! Da iawn!
