Mr William-Powlett wins IPO Physics Teacher of the Year Award
Mr William-Powlett has been awarded the 2022 Teachers of Physics Award from the Institute of Physics (IOP) for his inspirational physics teaching.
The IOP Teachers of Physics Awards celebrate outstanding classroom practice in the teaching of physics, and recognise the success of secondary school teachers in the UK and Ireland who, by their dedication and excellence in the classroom, have raised the profile of physics teaching in their school.
Frantic Drama Workshop
Year 10 Drama students took part in a Frantic Assembly workshop today where they were put through their paces, learning a number of physical skills to assist in their upcoming devising exam. The students worked in pairs to create movement that involved connecting one hand and allowing your partner to guide you around the space. They then devised a sequence using round, by, shift and this was workshopped in to developing a story and potential relationships. Students were focused and pushed completely out of their comfort zones and I was so impressed with how they engaged with the tasks. I cant wait to see the impact this has on the physical aspects of their devised work next term.
