Mr McFarlane said 'Y12 Physics students were exceptional ambassadors for our school - engaged, respectful & inquisitive. Their curiosity and camaraderie made the Geneva trip not only educational but truly joyful.' Read more here: jths.co.uk/newsletter/art…

The final day in Geneva was spent at the Science History Museum followed by an escape room and exploring the city centre. A great trip with extraordinary students and staff! 🏛️⛲️@johntaylorhigh

A great day spent @CERN yesterday. We visited the @CMSExperiment and went 90m underground for a tour. Lots of time at the Science Gateway exhibitions, all rounded off with a visit to the gift shop! Headed back into Geneva for a traditional fondue overlooking the lake 🫕

Touched down in Geneva, had an evening of Bowling followed by a sunset by the lake. Ready for an exciting day at @CERN tomorrow! 🌅 @johntaylorhigh

📢 New FREE resources With no clear marker of scientific knowledge in year 6 it is tempting to underestimate them - but we shouldn't be! We should assess this knowledge and fill gaps - and we can help you with our new Year 7 baseline. Repost and message me to get access!

Come and be a founding member of the Science department @JTRugeley supporting students and staff with first class practical support and technical expertise as our first Science Technician!🥼🧪

It was great to facilitate a session for @JTTShub Science Trainees this afternoon on Subject Knowledge and Pedagogy in Physics - focusing on how to approach abstract concepts in physics through the use of concrete models and explicit teaching💡
