Throughout the academic year, senior school pupils studying Physics in Years 10 to 13 were offered the opportunity to participate in British Physics Olympiad competitions. Several pupils in each year group embraced the challenge and some of them won outstanding awards, placing themselves among the top physicists of their age in the world. These competitions go beyond the public examinations system, and even marks that seemed low are to be celebrated as pupils were enabled to grasp new ideas and deepen their own thinking in the subject, stretching themselves to their limits and extending their skills and understanding in the process. Hopefully, they relished these challenges and will continue to participate in the respective competitions of the following years.
