Our aim as a department is to provide an enjoyable experience where our valued young people can learn and understand key principles and gain knowledge pertaining to the world in which we live: from the structure and interaction of atoms through to the grand equations that describe how our universe is made. Along the way we touch upon key technologies, human endeavours, intriguing oddities and the fundamental mathematics that describe how things work.

We currently run a message board forum for our Physics pupils which is intended to provide additional support. (more info)
