THE Atomic Weapons Establishment recently opened its doors to the students who won last year’s A-Level Challenge.

Pupils from St Bartholomew’s, Newbury, had a tour of the Orion laser facility at the Aldermaston site.

The visit followed on from the pupils’ win at the challenge which was held in Tadley Community Centre last year.

The event forms part off AWE’s AWEsome Education campaign, which aims to encourage the study of STEM subjects in education.
