In Year 8, the whole cohort participates in the RAF Marham Construction Challenge — a high-energy event where students work in teams to solve practical engineering problems using real construction tools and materials, guided by RAF STEM ambassadors.

In addition, selected high-performing students (typically 12 G&T pupils) represent APHS in the IET Faraday Challenge Day, a prestigious national competition run by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), where students design solutions to real engineering problems.
