Good Schools Guide award for Exeter School

Exeter School is the recipient of a 2015 Good Schools Guide Award for A Level Physics for the second year in a row.

This is the seventh year that the co-educational independent school has received a Good Schools Guide Award for Science.

Every year, the Good Schools Guide gives awards to schools to celebrate teaching excellence in individual subjects, basing these awards on WOW Factor calculations which are a combination of relative popularity, relative performance, absolute performance and percentage taking.

Dr Wilson, Director of Science at Exeter School, said he was delighted that the Physics department had received another Good Schools Guide for A Level Physics.

"It is a great testament to the effort and dedication of the pupils as well as the inspiring work and open, good-hearted support of the teachers.

"It is important that their A Level outcomes enable pupils to access their universities and subjects of choice and it is also particularly pleasing that significant numbers of pupils continue to apply for Physics-related degrees."

Exeter School's Physics department regularly collaborates with other local schools and teaching colleagues as the hub school of the Exeter and East Devon Ogden Physics Partnership and serves as a link school for the Institute of Physics' Stimulating Physics Network.
