The Ladies’ College has been presented with a Special Award for Community Impact from the Institute for Research in Schools (IRIS) following a number of pieces of student led independent research including the submission of a research project that resulted in reducing the school’s carbon footprint.…
Hi Everyone,
I am self isolating with Emma. As I am 30 cm long when I am social distancing, everyone has to be 50cm from me.
Now as I am a bearded dragon, I do not have to worry about this virus as it only affects humans. Emma put some newspaper down the other day for me and I happened to read …
Two of our Upper Five students had the privilege of attending Buckingham Palace recently to collect the Teen Tech prize for Research and Information for their project on the Diabetic Machine. They won the UK National Final for this project and were awarded their prize by the Duke of York at Buckin…

TeenTech is a science and technology competition which was held in London yesterday. The girls won through to the National final by being finalists in two categories - one of them was a sixth form only category. The girls won this prize out of 150 top students in the UK. In this category, they had …
Upper Four students attended International Women in Engineering Day at the College of FE on Friday. Speeches were given by some incredible women engineers who inspired our students and showed them that there are many exciting and creative career opportunities within this field, with many opportuni…
Remove Z are studying ecology this term and they've been on the hunt for mini-beasts in the school grounds. Today we found centipedes, millipedes, wasps, bees, ladybirds, maggots and an as yet unidentified fungus.
Upper Sixth Physics students made a crude telescope as part of their Astrophysics course using 2 lenses, a metre-rule, plasticine and grease-proof paper. As you can see, the image is inverted as it is when it hits the retina at the back of our eye - it's our brain that actually turns the image the…
Lower Five made the most of the sunshine last Friday to find some of the factors that affect the temperature of an object, which included colour, type of material, angle from the ground and the direction it faces.
Teamwork was at the heart of today's (Tuesday 16th) AS physics experiment, where students had to resolve balanced forces into horizontal and vertical components. Students worked brilliantly together to take some very tricky measurements and they were all still friends at the end of the lesson!

Lower Five have been investigating the link between the force applied to a spring and the extension it causes. This is an experiment that Robert Hooke, a contemporary of Sir Isaac Newton, carried out in the 17th century. Students also investigated the relationship using elastic bands and copper …
Remove Z have been learning about plant and animal cells this week. Yesterday, students learnt how to use a microscope and prepare a slide of their own cheek cells.
Today, the students prepared slides of red onion cells and as you can see, the results are stunning.

Upper Five 1 finished learning the IGCSE Physics syllabus last week, so we decided that now was a good a time as any to have a "Physics Cake-Off"!
Jade Irish created "Abstract Physics", a model of the universe complete with …
Junior Remove enjoyed finishing their Science topic on growing with The Big Seed Challenge! They were working in teams to create a mechanism to disperse their seed across the classroom and came up with some great inventions, from The Pollen Slide to the The Seed Song . All groups worked collaborati…
GUERNSEY STUDENTS THROUGH TO UK FINAL OF THE BIG BANG COMPETITION
Three teams of students from The Ladies' College Guernsey in Guernsey, have made it through to the UK final of The Big Bang UK Young Scientists and Engineers Competition after wowing judges at the regional heats.
Team “The Crys…
On Monday night Lower Four visited the Société Guernesiaise Observatory. Students enjoyed a talk about the solar system and the various celestial bodies we can see in the night sky. When the clouds parted, students were lucky enough to observe the Orion Nebula, Venus and even the Andromeda galaxy,…
Science Club students from Remove to Upper Four have been demonstrating and explaining the science behind experiments of their own choice on willing teachers and students. We will be taking the experiments on a live road show to primary school students and their teachers later this academic year.
…
Form I are continuing to explore their current science topic 'States of Matter'. The girls had a whale of a time this morning getting hands on with some everyday materials to make (and eat!) ice cream. Milk, sugar and vanilla essence were secured in a small bag, which was then sealed inside anothe…
The latest Ilex magazine is now published and can be accessed . We hope that you will looking through it, agree that the Upper Sixth team responsible for putting it together, led by Maninda Singh, have done an excellent job. Our girls are involved in a very great many things in the course of…
