Girls find out how to ‘Bend it like Beckham’

Wednesday, 14 October 2009

Girls from Years 11 to 13 of Bolton School were treated to an insight into how to 'Bend it like Beckham' in a lecture on flight by Manchester University lecturer, Dr Iain Dupere.

Dr Dupere is from the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering at Manchester University, and is a regular visitor to Bolton School. On this occasion, he spoke to girls from Physics and Mathematics groups about flight, including the history of flight, how objects fly, vertical take off, Beckham's bending football flights, and the future of flight.

The lecture was part of the Learning Support programme, which aims to enrich the girls' programme of study.
