Robert Winston 'enthralls' students at prestigious Essex school
Professor Robert Winston visited Colchester Royal Grammar School to observe teaching of local primary students, gave a talk and led a seminar.
Professor Winston is not only a very learned scholar and a brilliant communicator; he is also a very kind and generous man. He had such an engaging manner with the students that they were enthralled by him and hung on his every word.
– Mr K L Jenkinson
Headmaster, CRGS
Colchester Royal Grammar School welcomed Robert Winston on 13 March, accompanied by Professor George Constantinides (Professor of Digital Computation) as part of an ongoing relationship between the school and the Faculty of Engineering.
Professor Winston observed primary school classes taking place, gave a lecture and led a discussion on his book 'Bad Ideas' with sixth-form science students.
As part of the relationship between Imperial's Engineering departments and CRGS, a series of resources to enhance primary mathematics teaching will soon be piloted in local primary schools. These will be made publicly available in due course.
