World Class Physicist selected for the British Physics Olympiad

World Class Physicist selected for the British Physics Olympiad. Over the past 17 years the British Physics Olympiad has become a staple feature in The Blue Coat School calendar, with their GCSE and A-level physicists always achieving a number of gold, silver and bronze awards.
This year, under the watchful eye of co-ordinator Mr Caulkin, Year 13 physics enthusiast Callum has made it all the way through to the final round of this prestigious competition.
Callum, who received a top gold in the first round of the competition, progressed to round two which involved sitting a three hour paper tackling questions on gravitation and electromagnetism.
Callum’s extensive knowledge and passion for the subject was rewarded with a second gold award and a place in the top 15 nationally.
Such an outstanding performance secured Callum an invitation to a four day intensive training workshop held at the University of Oxford. Alongside four other UK students Callum will represent Great Britain at the International Physics Olympiad, competing against eighty-seven teams in Indonesia during the summer.
