The Physics Department is:

Dr A J Patchett - HoD

Mr P J Cooper

Mr M Toney

Mr D W Hivey

The Physics Department thrives within the School. A healthy majority of students elect to take the subject as a single GCSE, and typically between one third and one half of the Sixth Form cohort will elect the subject as one of their A level choices. Over the past two years 80% of students have achieved an A or B grade at A level. Our physics students routinely go on to study at top UK universities, pursuing not only physics and 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 up the many opportunities available outside of the examinable curriculum. Our students take advantage of public lectures, summer schools, and national competitions in order to develop their interest, depth of knowledge and skills.
