BBC Politics South East, Gender Equality in STEM

June 24, 2025

24th June 2025

We’re proud that Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys was featured on the BBC Politics show on Sunday 22nd June, shining a spotlight on the rise of girls choosing Design—and breaking barriers in STEM at our school!

Mr. Pledger emphasised how this shift is creating powerful female role models, inspiring younger girls to pursue STEM subjects with confidence. Our Design Department is leading the way with groundbreaking projects, awards, and a culture that champions equality and innovation.

From F1 in Schools to engineering challenges, our students—especially young women—are gaining real-world skills and proving that STEM is for everyone.
