The department aims to stimulate and excite an interest in phenomena and events in the world around us.
Through experiment and observation we try to develop and evaluate models and theories to help satisfy curiosity with knowledge. We evaluate major scientific ideas, and recognise the impact that they have on industry, business and the environment; issues that will affect all of our lives.
All pupils study Physics at GCSE, either as a single subject or as part of the Science and Additional Science program. At A level, Physics is taught to two sets in each year usually between eight and 10 pupils. Pupils have gone on to study Physics, Engineering and many associated sciences at the countries top Universities.
In addition, the department runs several extra-curricular activities, open to all ages. The Electronics and Robotics group meet weekly to design, construct and program robots and other novel devices. The department's 10" Schmidt-Cassegrian telescope is regularly used to observe both our solar system and deep space.
