From the starting point of everything we can see around us, Physics teaches you the skills to look, think and understand. Once confidence in the fundamentals such as forces, energy and charge is built up, Physics then helps you to use what you already know to move forward and explain new concepts and ideas - knowing about gravity helps with understanding topics as broad as magnetism and nuclear power and from there to recognizing the principles behind how an electric toothbrush charges and how the sun works.

The next generation of Physicists has some great challenges ahead of it: 

• moving energy generation into a Carbon negative position through cheap, efficient solar and wind power, harnessing the full potential of Nuclear fission; 

• improving processor and computing power to handle great advances in quantum computing and Artificial Intelligence and the massive increases in demand for memory storage they bring; 

• upgrading transport from electric bikes; efficient, clean air transportation even interplanetary transportation with all the extra demands and challenges this brings.

All of this in addition to research into materials, processes and concepts that have not even been invented or considered yet.

Our aim is to develop the skills and knowledge required to understand how the world depends on Physics. In Physics lessons, you will learn new practical skills and complete increasingly complex experiments. You will build sophisticated circuits, analyse the motion of projectiles, and explore the properties of light and radiation. You will learn to write like a Scientist, applying advanced mathematical modeling to predict physical outcomes. Above all, you will develop skills that will enable you to succeed in a range of exciting careers in Engineering, Research, and Technology.
