LiveWest has donated to Marazion Primary School in Cornwall to support pupils in upgrading their Greenpower Goblin racing car, helping them continue to take part in competitive STEM-based challenges.

Alongside local contractors DWT and Taurus, we supported a local school serving families living in our homes within the Marazion catchment area.

Year 6 pupils at Marazion Primary have been working hard to raise funds to upgrade their Goblin car, a student-built racing vehicle used in engineering and design competitions, helping to introduce them to STEM: science, technology, engineering and maths.

While the school has enjoyed success with its current model, competing schools had already upgraded their cars. The £2,000 donation has enabled them to purchase a new generation kit, bringing them back to a competitive standard.

Kayleigh Rescorla-Hill, Year 5/6 Class Teacher for Marazion Primary School, said: "LiveWest, Taurus and DWT were blown away by the level of mechanics and engineering that the children were participating in, and they were excited to watch the cars being driven around our practice track.

“We are so grateful for the incredibly generous contribution to our club – it has enabled us to harness the excitement of motorsport and bring STEM subjects to life in an engaging, practical and inspiring way.”

The funding demonstrates how LiveWest is working with our contractors for social value. The donation not only supports the school’s participation but also strengthens hands-on learning in science engineering and maths, giving pupils valuable skills.
