Results Reflect Fantastic Effort at Senior Physics Challenge

March saw the return of the Lower Sixth Form Senior Physics Challenge in its written form. Thirteen pupils across Lower Sixth and Fifth Year opted to sit the competition, answering challenging problems on a range of topics from particle accelerators to radiation. Alex M, Thomas C, Luke Y, Catherine C, Anson C and O-Teen K all received Gold medals, with Alex M achieving an outstanding 90 per cent! Helen Y and Tiffany K, both Fifth Year pupils, also received Bronze medals despite not having undertaken any A Level Physics, ably tackling questions on the mechanics of non-uniform beams and manometer pressures. Achieving a medal in such a competition is a feat to be proud of, but our medals in Fifth Year show that Caterham spirit and tenacity to keep pushing beyond the specification and getting stuck into exciting but difficult problems.
