Thrilled to once again be in attendance at the @EngineeringAPPG Luncheon and Debate at the @UKHouseofLords - this time, Ben, Emily and Annika are considering the issues around Engineering for Clean Water. Such a great opportunity for our aspiring engineers! @SHSKSchool @SHSKHo6

A fantastic, inspirational day out with our L6 to ‘Physics in Action’ at B’ham Uni. Talks ranging from quantum computing, to helioseismology, to baking in space. @legophysicsguy was particularly on point with his exam success tips! @SHSKSchool @edu_in_action

Yesterday we were hosted by @RadleyPhysics for a fantastic evening of Particle Physics and Pizza, bringing our L6 students together to participate in World Wide Data Day, analysing dimuon events from the Large Hadron Collider. Top physics-ing from all involved! @SHSKSchool

A profoundly moving Remembrance service this morning. My thanks to Mr McAllister for his remarkable and humbling address reflecting on his life in the army. The Poppy on my jacket feels both more important and insufficient.

SUPERB physics results from Y11 this morning. So proud of them all. 🤩 And looking forward to a bumper year for A-level uptake in a couple of weeks time.
Huge congratulations to Year 11 on their fantastic #GCSE results! Wonderful to celebrate with students and parents - it's fair to say the School is buzzing this morning @HMC_Org @GSAUK @TheOxfordMail #GCSEResultsDay2023

It's time for the Big Build - our annual International Women in Engineering Day celebration. Students have been out in the sunshine taking part in a series of experiments and activities, from catapult building to air cannons, geometric bubbles and brainteasers @INWED1919 #STEM

We ran this twice today! An amazing effort by 80x Lower School students after school. And great fun with a gang of @SHSKJuniors and some prospective students during the afternoon. (With enormous thanks to our lab tech, Mr P-B, for his support and ingenuity!) @SHSKSchool
Joint social with Abingdon after school- scrapheap challenge and a delicious bbq #shskphysics
