Dr Lorraine Earps, who took over as Director of Studies at Withington in January 2010 visited Junior Assembly on February 12th. Dr Earps, who is also a teacher of Chemistry, enthralled the Juniors by presenting Chemistry as magic.

With the Harry Potter theme tune playing in the background, water was made to change colour and texture, peppers exploded and indoor fireworks lit. All the Junior girls were very excited and inspired by their introduction to the world of Chemistry.
