Pupils' thought-provoking climate crisis film wins award
26th April 2024
A team of pupils at Loseley Fields Primary School in Godalming, Surrey, part of Learning Partners Academy Trust has won an award for presenting, via a short film, a new and innovative scientific solution to help achieve one of the United Nation’s Global Goals for Sustainable Development. They were one of more than 250 teams who entered from across the world and had to present to a panel of judges at Imperial College to win the accolade.
The annual competition run by the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Imperial college London was open to teams of young people of primary and secondary ages from schools, community and youth groups across the world. The purpose of the competition is to inspire young people into thinking scientifically, to develop an understanding of the global challenges facing the world, to encourage collaboration and to motivate their curiosity and drive.
The film is titled Power to the People and addresses the United Nations sustainability goal number 11 to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. The film demonstrates the great passion that the pupils involved feel towards the global climate crisis. Supported by the school’s Eco Education Assistant, Victoria Davis, the team have clearly researched the subject, carefully considered their findings and discussed solutions together to bring the film to fruition. By entering this competition, the whole school has benefited from learning about sustainability, the climate crisis and the need to take action.

Loseley Fields Primary School, serving pupils from ages 4 to 11, has a forward-thinking science curriculum; pupils benefit from a field study centre at the site, where lessons are delivered on a daily basis in a working laboratory. At its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, inspectors recognised that “Loseley Fields is a vibrant and ambitious school where pupils are bright, curious and eager to please. Work on personal development, including pastoral care and citizenship, is exceptional.”
Amanda Pedder, Headteacher at Loseley Fields Primary School said “I am incredibly proud of our children. They did remarkably well, presenting in such a large lecture theatre to a group of VIP judges. It is a great accomplishment and reflects all the hard work we have done to our science curriculum over the last six years.”
Jack Mayew, CEO of Learning Partners Academy Trust said “We are delighted for the Loseley Fields community, winning such a prestigious competition is a fantastic achievement. Their film demonstrated creativity, ingenuity and a genuine passion and enthusiasm for making a difference. Congratulations to the team of winning pupils!”
