A visit to CERN isn’t just a trip — A-Level Physics brought to life 🚀

26th February 2026Mrs S Field

A visit to CERN isn’t just a trip — it’s Physics brought to life 🚀

Our sixth form STEM students are off to explore the home of the Large Hadron Collider, seeing first-hand how the ideas they study in class connect to real-world discovery.

From Particles & Radiation to Electricity, Fields and Circular Motion, students hope to see:

🔬 How the Standard Model is tested through high-energy collisions
⚛️ How the Higgs boson was discovered
🧲 Superconducting magnets applying F = Bqv in real accelerators
📊 The importance of statistical analysis and the famous 5-sigma standard of proof

What can feel abstract in a classroom becomes tangible inside one of the world’s leading scientific research centres.

Experiences like this deepen understanding, strengthen exam performance, and raise aspirations for careers in physics, engineering, computing and beyond.

AQA specification — experienced in action. And a bit of bonding time as well, of course!

LGBT+ History Month February 2026

February marks LGBT+ History Month in the UK – an annual celebration recognising the achievements, contributions and history of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) community.

This important month raises awareness of the community’s history, struggles and successes, while highlighting both significant historical milestones and contemporary issues in the ongoing journey towards equality.

At Enfield Grammar School, we are proud to support and promote equality, diversity and inclusion for all. This month, students will take part in a special assembly dedicated to reflecting on the importance of LGBT+ History Month and celebrating the positive impact of the LGBT+ community.

What Is the Ebacc? Understanding the lingo….

13th February 2026Mrs S Field

With it being the Year 9 GCSE Options season, it’s good to understand some of the lingo used…

The English Baccalaureate (EBacc) is a performance measure for schools in England, not a qualification, which highlights students who achieve a grade 5 or above in a core set of GCSE subjects: English, maths, science, a language, and history or geography.

Introduced in 2010, it aims to keep options open for young people by ensuring a broad, academic curriculum recognised by employers and universities.
