In November, three Upper Sixth students took the British Physics Olympiad round 1 paper. This is a very challenging written paper undertaken by some of the best Sixth Form physicists in the country. Congratulations to Lucia, who achieved a Bronze 1 award, Saffron, who achieved a Silver award and Jessica, who achieved a Gold award. All three students achieved excellent results and proved themselves to be in the top 700 physicists of their age. However, Jessica gains a special commendation for achieving results ranked in the top 100 in the UK.
The great Easter Debate: a sweet, chaotic showdown
If you were expecting a serious, well-structured debate at this year’s Easter debate, you were in for a surprise. What unfolded was less of a formal argument and more of a theatrical masterpiece – complete with flying chocolate, wild accusations and a speaker who somehow turned it into a human rights campaign for sugar.
