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!

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.

12th February 2026Mrs S Field
To mark Children’s Mental Health Week 2026, we will be delivering a special assembly for Years 7 and 8 centred on this year’s theme of Belonging — exploring how we can develop our own sense of belonging and help others feel that they belong too.
 
The assembly will be followed by form-time activities and the creation of a ‘Belonging Pledge’ display. Every child deserves to feel accepted, welcomed, valued and comfortable in their environment.
