British Physics Olympiad Tests 2019
Recently four students in Year 12 and 5 students in Year 11 somewhat rashly volunteered to sit the Physics Olympiad papers. On the front of the question paper is the following advice, “This paper is about problem solving. It is designed for the top AS/GCSE physicists in the country.

Year 10 Football County Cup Runners-up
A huge well done to the 13 boys involved in the U15 County Cup football final at Thatcham Town on Wednesday 1 May. The boys battled, as they have all season, unfortunately their unbeaten run came to an end. They lost out to a strong, well organised St Crispin’s team who won, 3-1, on the night. Finishing second in the county was a great achievement and the boys should all be really proud of what has been an excellent season. -
