Coleg Cambria Shine At British Physics Olympiad – Learners from Coleg Cambria have achieved staggering results at The British Physics Olympiad (BPhO), a series of competitions overseen by renowned lecturers from Oxford and Cambridge universities.
Challenging Exam Papers
A seven-strong team representing Yale Sixth in Wrexham received two commendations, three bronze medals, one silver and one gold for Lois Jones from Gwersyllt. The students sat two challenging exam papers to test their knowledge of the subject and were up against more than 3,700 learners from 550 schools across the UK.
Lecturer Rob Jones added, “To even participate in this competition is huge. It’s a very big deal in physics education so to receive medals and achieve a gold is amazing. I am incredibly proud of them all.
“They have put in so much hard work. Being part of the Olympiad shows they are among the top young physicists and problem-solvers in the UK. I trust they have enjoyed the process and can apply what they have gained to their chosen academic or career path in the future.”
British Physics Olympiad
Five committee members run the British Physics Olympiad. They receive support from a large team of volunteer physics teachers and academics across the country. There are always opportunities for new teachers to become involved in one of the many aspects of the BPhO. These opportunities range from writing questions to checking exam papers and supporting students through online mentoring. Tasks, such as developing questions for the team, practical experimental training and developing the BPhO in new ways, are also available for people to help with.
