Achievements & Trips
- In February, every other year, A-level students are given the opportunity to go on a trip to CERN, Geneva to the world famous CERN institute, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle accelerator. Here protons are accelerated to close to the speed of light around a 27km long ring, before being smashed into each other. Founded in 1954, CERN has been the centre of some of the most cutting edge research into physics and in 1990 was where Tim Berners-Lee created the revolutionary World Wide Web.
- We hope to revisit CERN again when conditions allow
- A number of pupils from Year 13 are involved with Sentinus, working in an industrial setting to solve a ‘real life’ engineering problem and as a result gain their Gold Crest Award.
