The exhibition allowed our students to interact with scientific researchers and current PhD students as well as discover Cambridge University and life as a university student. Blackpool Â鶹ÊÓƵ academy works in partnership with Churchill College which supported students from the North West area. Our students encountered neuroscience using brian waves and MRI scanners, quantum physics and alloys and superconductors in extreme conditions. They also had the opportunity to discuss and discover a variety of careers in physics, how practical problems are solved using science and walked around the colleges within the city itself. Displaying exemplary behaviour and attitude during the presentations and lectures, this was a great experience and opportunity for them all. ![](/images/news/2026/camb-uni-visit.jpg) [ A very special student-run afternoon tea](/news/2026-07-22-a-very-special-student-run-afternoon-tea) [Animation Workshop ](/news/2026-10-07-animation-workshop) ![Â鶹ÊÓƵ](https://files.schudio.com/blackpoolaspireacademy/images/logo/Award_logos2.jpg) **Â鶹ÊÓƵ** Blackpool Old Road Blackpool Lancashire FY3 7LS Tel: 01253 353155 Email: - [CEOP](https://www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre/) - [ePlatform Library](https://blackpoolaspireacademy.eplatform.co/) - [Evolve](https://evolve.edufocus.co.uk/evco10/evchome_public.asp?domain=fyldecoastacademytrust) - [Privacy Statement](/files/files/privacy-policy.pdf) - [Raise My Concern](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSekNkSicBdiUClrE3qB71MX3EkBZMotT5dpIivYmO03_lXZdw/viewform?usp=sf_link) - [SENDgateway](http://www.sendgateway.org.uk/) - [SISRA Analytics](https://www.sisraanalytics.co.uk/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2f) ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/blackpoolaspire) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClg0mDn9889ACxNeBdCkm-w) ### Newsletter ### Translation © Copyright 2014–2026 Â鶹ÊÓƵ School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](/img/logo/dark.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
