Physics
We aim to empower students to understand the laws governing the universe, from the infinitesimally small to the unimaginably vast.
Physics at CLSG
We hope to inspire our students to appreciate and explore how physics underpins the world around them.
Why study Physics at CLSG?
Physics at City provides a supportive and stimulating environment where students can learn, investigate and marvel at the wonders of our physical world. We are extremely well-equipped, with specialist laboratories and modern, technical equipment. Our teachers all share a life-long passion for one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines where the goal is to understand the behaviour of the universe.
The physics department provides a vibrant, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all students at all levels. We want to cater for everyone, those students who adore the subject and aim to continue their studies beyond City, but also those students who can find the subject a little daunting. Our teaching team is enthusiastic about the subject and we hope to pass this spark of enthusiasm onto our students. There are numerous co-curricular activities and enrichment opportunities, including trips, for example to Physics in Action.

Curriculum
'Physics is the study of everything, quite literally. I am so grateful that City first opened my eyes to the most fundamental science, and then encouraged me to follow my passion for understanding the universe.'
- Ines, year 13
'Physics at City is something I always look forward to, as I'm able to have conversations about mind-bending ideas. Each lesson made me forget I was in a classroom, as we explored the fundamental laws that shape everything around us.'
- Mei, year 13
Our final day of term was packed with smiles, handstands, sponge baths, our charity fete and so much more. Wishing all our pupils, teachers, staff and wider community a wonderful summer! ☀️

Physics is understood on both a practical and theoretical level which leads to fascinating variation in our curriculum.
