The Classical Education of a Great Scientist, Sir Isaac Newton

The King's School is hosting an event on its most famous former pupil, Isaac Newton. Expert Helen Martin will give  a talk entitled "The Classical Education of a Great Scientist, Sir Isaac Newton". The event will take place in the Old School building, currently housing the Library, on Tuesday 29 March at 7.00pm.

Sir Isaac Newton, one of the world’s greatest scientists, received a classical education. Helen examines the history of this great man, his education and considers what we can learn from this today.

Enjoy the unique experience of hearing and seeing more about his life, contributions and formal education, whilst sitting in the Grade I listed building in which he was actually taught, and where you can see his engraved signature on one of the windowsills.

You are invited to stay and enjoy some refreshments where you will have the opportunity to meet Helen, whilst listening to some music of his time.

Tickets are on sale from The King's School at £7.50 (£6.00) including wine, cheese and biscuits. Tel: 01476 563180.
