British Physics Olympiad 2018
![](/_site/data/images/news/8/main-BPhOrgb.jpg)
This year over 1,740 students participated in the British Physics Olympiad across the UK. The 3 hour paper was designed to stretch and challenge the top young Physicists in the country in a national competition, which is used to select the International Physics Olympiad representatives later in the year. Every question is indeed a real challenge and all of our students can be proud of their achievements, but special mentions should go to Prabhjot Grewal and James Scudamore who achieved a Silver award, which places them in the top 12% of students entering the competition.
