We are delighted to celebrate the exceptional achievements of our students in this year’s competitions organised by the British Physics Olympiad. Their impressive results are a testament to their talent, dedication, and passion for Physics, as well as to the strength of the school’s thriving Physics community.
Our students performed with distinction across all levels of the competition, achieving results well above the national average in both the Senior and Intermediate Physics Challenges.

Year 7 – BPhO Round 1 Physics Challenge
We are especially proud of Imanuel Cohen, who was invited to sit the BPhO Round 1 Physics Challenge after successfully qualifying through the highly competitive Round 0 selection examination.
This year, Round 0 saw participation from 599 UK schools and 80 overseas schools, with 9,500 papers submitted. From this very strong cohort, Imanuel qualified for Round 1 — an exceptional achievement in itself.
In Round 1, 1,811 students from 475 UK schools, together with several overseas schools, took part. Imanuel went on to achieve a Silver award, an outstanding accomplishment at this advanced level of competition.
These achievements reflect not only the individual excellence of our students, but also their resilience, intellectual curiosity, and commitment to academic challenge. We extend our warmest congratulations to all of the students who took part and contributed to this wonderful success.
