DELEGATES visiting the national conference for specialist science colleges dropped in on the York's own science college, Archbishop Holgate's School.
Teachers and subject leaders toured the school as part of the two-day conference.
They also visited Smith & Nephew, York, the Samuel Smith Brewery, Tadcaster, and York's National Railway Museum.
At the school they saw youngsters working on genetics, as well as pupils from Lord Deramore's Primary School, Heslington, working in laboratories. Head teacher John Harris said it had been an extremely positive afternoon and the school had received many compliments from the delegates.
