Physics with Orbyts
In the summer term 2024 we started a research-based course for current year 10 students. This course focuses on practical astronomy and physics research. Physics with Orbyts covers material beyond GCSE physics and mathematics, allows students a glimpse of what goes into being a researcher, and shows them their potential as scientists.
In the second half of the autumn term 2024, we will partner with Orbyts, a multi-award-winning movement that partners scientists with schools to empower school students to undertake world-leading research. The practical work the students put in throughout the summer term will help them thrive as they work alongside real physicists and astronomers.
