Physics

"Physics is the study of the universe, including the objects within it and the interactions between those objects.

In the Physics Department, we begin by inspiring pupils with a sense of wonder and curiosity about natural phenomena, then show how an understanding of the physical world enables science to create wonders of its own.

In pursuing these aims, we encourage pupils to think, to question, to investigate, to plan, to experiment, to calculate and to communicate.

We enjoy excellent laboratory facilities, a skilled and experienced technician and dedicated teaching staff, all of whom have physics-related degrees.

The subject is a springboard to a huge variety of careers and university degrees. Engineering is a popular choice and the analytical and communication skills that pupils develop during the course equips them for almost any career, including finance, computing, law and medicine."
