The Sixth Form Scholars’ Symposium took place on Thursday 18 November to celebrate the super final contributions of our Year 13 Scholars. Projects on display showed the huge diversity of intellectual output in this year group.

We learned about the ‘Boys of Walthamstow’ and how photography reveals our internal thinking, or about the puzzle of Dark Matter and whether WIMPS, MACHOS or MONDS could effectively fight it out for true contenders for the missing weight of the universe. Or perhaps the effect of Covid on the mental health of NHS workers was more to your liking….or whether the assassination of Julius Caesar could be justified. And on they went, truly thought-provoking.

Our judge, alumni Richard Fagg, was delighted with the contributions and after careful assessment decided on Thomas Kaddish and Adam Tolfree as runners up, whilst first prize for their joint-research study looking at air pollution in urban areas as significant threat to health, went to Jessica and Claudia.

Well done to all involved – a credit to their ingenuity and hard work.
