Quantum clubs for our Year 10 and Year 12 Physics students

8th July 2025Administrator

On 30 June, our science teachers Dr Mahmoud and Ms Kassir accompanied a group of our Year 10 and Year 12 students to the UCL main campus in Euston to take part in the final conference of the UCL’s ORBYTS educational programme.

Since January, our students attended a weekly enrichment club after school focused on the field of Quantum. They were supported by PhD students from UCL which guided and supported them throughout the project to enable them to take part in world-class research. After completing their research, the students created a poster to communicate their findings and presented this at the UCL conference, which was held in the Harrie Massey Lecture Theatre.

The UCL Orbyts programme ran for a duration of 5 months, where we had fortnightly sessions with PhD students Eleanor and RJ. During these sessions, we had the privilege of learning about quantum computers, how they work, and how we can programme our own algorithms (using python) which we could then test using IBM’s REAL quantum computers. How exciting!

By putting our problem-solving and teamwork skills to use, we set out on a mission to create 3 algorithms which worked much better than IBM’s current method in creating what is known as a ‘Bell state’. I think it is safe to say that our mission was a success! Not only did we achieve our primary goal, but we also learned about fascinating concepts such as ‘quantum superposition’ and ‘quantum entanglement’ which can be used to explain the phenomenon of Schrödinger’s cat!

At the end of our research, we were invited to UCL where we delivered a presentation to 100+ students from other schools. I had a wonderful time being able to present our brilliant work in the conference – it was a very exciting and new experience! Furthermore, I enjoyed seeing what topics the other school had researched, such as understanding how time works in a black hole and finding suitable materials for building lunar habitats.

A huge thank you to UCL, Eleanor and RJ, and our school for arranging such an enjoyable programme!

  • Csaba Gyuricza and Bhavya Bhanushali were awarded Bronze Certificates, recognising their impressive problem-solving skills and dedication.

Cambridge Chemistry Challenge Highlights

Our students also excelled in the Cambridge Chemistry Challenge, which pushes AS-level chemists to apply their knowledge to complex, unfamiliar problems. We are proud to announce:

  • Dhriti Dipak, Kunal Mukesh, and Najiha Shaikh each received a Silver Certificate, reflecting their outstanding analytical abilities.
  • Somavarshan Sathiya Kumar achieved a Bronze Certificate, showcasing his strong understanding of advanced chemistry concepts.

These accomplishments reflect the hard work, curiosity, and resilience of our students, supported by our dedicated Chemistry Department.

SEGRO Heathrow Cargo site visit with Year 10 students

24th June 2025Administrator

On Tuesday, 3 June, a number of Year 10 students visited the SEGRO Heathrow Cargo site which forms part of the West London Community Investment Plan. During their visit, they heard from various staff members about the range of activities at SEGRO, the diverse customers they serve, and enjoyed behind-the-scenes access to DHL.

At DHL, the students were welcomed by the Senior Director of Operations at the DHL London Heathrow Hub. He shared his career journey, explaining how he was born and raised in West London, attended a local school, and worked his way up from an entry-level position at DHL to his current role. They then heard from the Talent Acquisition Advisor, who gave an in-depth talk about life at DHL, different entry routes, and the skills needed to build a career there. The students also toured the manufacturing floor, observing DHL in action as they watched the warehouse workers operate the machines, work together in a team and see DHL’s control room.

They had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the operations at SEGRO’s Heathrow Cargo site. They also learned about the importance of health, safety, and security in such a high-traffic estate, especially given its connection to the airport.

The trip gave our students a really valuable opportunity to broaden their aspirations, knowledge, and confidence all of which will support their transition to the world of work.
