Physics: Here at BPS, Physics is taught by specialists assisted by full time technicians.

We live in an increasingly scientific world and as a department we work together to ensure students develop a knowledge and understanding of Physics that helps inform their judgement on scientific matters affecting society, both nationally and globally.

Practical work is an extremely important part of the course and students enjoy and benefit from this hands-on, practical approach which improves their skills with the equipment and helps them learn to draw valid conclusions from their own measurements.

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible. Aims of the Physics Department To engender an interest in physics through a stimulating and worthwhile experience in the classroom. To provide opportunities to guide and promote the development of scientific and rational modes of thought, To challenge the intellectual ability of all, to fully equip and prepare those taking study of the subject to a higher level and to reflect success by high exam grades.The Department consists of well equipped laboratories on the ground floor and a technicians’ area. All labs have a data projector for use with a staff laptop.

The department also has use of the Wolfson laboratory, shared with Biology and Chemistry, for data-logging and IT-based work. Co-Curricular The Physics Department run a number of educational visits to enhance the boys’ studies. Students are also encouraged to seek help from their teachers as and when needed.
