Double Medal Haul at British Physics Olympiad

Back in November 2021, 19 pupils volunteered to participate in the British Physics Olympiad competition hosted by the University of Oxford. Nearly doubling the medal haul from last year, this year’s participants secured a simply outstanding number of medals; 2 Golds, 4 Silvers and 9 Bronzes. Ruby C (Upper Sixth) and Thomas C (Lower Sixth) were awarded Gold medals placing them in the top 16% of the 2300+ participants nationwide. The competition is aimed at pupils in Upper Sixth Form, often requiring knowledge not discussed in class until that point, so Thomas’ Gold, the Silvers from Kelly H and Alex M (Lower Sixth), and Bronzes from Catherine C, Luke Y, O-Teen K & Anson C (Lower Sixth) are very impressive. A special mention must go to our Fifth Year participants too, especially Helen Y who secured a Bronze!
