The Discovery Society has been established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, to give students at The Bewdley School the opportunity to involve themselves in exploration and scientific research. These opportunities are above and beyond normal curriculum experience, giving students access to a range of organisations and opportunities.
Throughout the Spring Term we are running a series of lectures, these lectures are free to attend and are open to both students and members of the public.
