Trip to St George’s Hall, Liverpool – Physics Career Event

A group of Year 10 students visited St George’s Hall in Liverpool on Tuesday 18th April 2023.

The event included the students being involved in space skills activities and an afternoon with Helen Sharman who is the first British Astronaut.

The students were given the opportunity to find out useful information about the opportunities in physics and careers in space.

The students and staff found the trip extremely interesting and really enjoyed their experience.
