A space masterclass!

On Wednesday, 30 of our A1 Physics students had the exciting opportunity to dive into the world of Astrophysics, thanks to a visit from the National Space Academy.  

Students took part in several workshops investigating spectroscopy and its use to analyse the light from stars and how astronomy has developed our understanding of the universe. The day culminated with an investigation into the physics of human spaceflight and its impact on the human body. We hope this experience has sparked curiosity about the cosmos and inspired our students to think big.

Who knows — perhaps one day we’ll see a Greenhead astronaut among the stars!
