Senior school pupils studying Physics in Years 10 to 13 participated in the British Physics Olympiad’s competitions. A number of pupils embraced the challenge this year, with some of them winning 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. We are confident they relished these challenges and will continue to participate in the respective competitions of the following years.
Below is a list of all the awards won per competition. We are proud of all of you, congratulations!
