What the college says

The Physics department at llford County High School comprises of a specialist team of teachers with a wide range of expertise. The department is extremely well equipped with a large amount of cutting edge apparatus. Statistically, the Physics department is very strong in terms of examination results, however, this is merely the tip of the iceberg of available opportunities. Our philosophy is that students not only leave the department with excellent grades but a wealth of experiences found in only a few schools nationally. These include participation in active research projects into Cosmic Rays and Particle Physics in conjunction with some of the country's and world's leading universities. These projects have led to the department being part of the 2012 Royal Society Summer Exhibition and the Art installation "You Are Here....". The department and students have been invited to CERN to visit usually restricted areas.
