Physics

The school has a thriving Physics department and a large number of pupils elect to take the subject as a single GCSE and as an A-Level choice.

Pupils routinely go on to study at top UK universities, pursuing not only physics or engineering, but many other subjects such as law, economics, and medicine.

The department has tapped a strong vein of enthusiasm within the school population and we encourage students to take advantage of the opportunities available outside of the examinable curriculum.
