Big Ideas Challenge 2025

Dee took two teams one of which was called Bees Against Deforestation and the other called The Bio Cup.

The final was held at The University of Birmingham and we were up against 12 other teams from schools across the West Midlands. The winners move on to the national final at the Palace of Westminster in London in July.

After a fantastic day of competition, Dee was pleased to announce that The Bio-Cup Team were placed as overall runners-up meaning they have a chance of making the national final via the wild card and we will find out if they were successful on Friday 23rd May.  The other team were recognised and given a commendation by the judges for their idea. We had further good news because SWA was awarded with a Bronze Crest Award for our work in S.T.E.M. Please congratulate all the students who stepped up and represented our school so well. We are so proud of them and they are a credit to our school.
