In 2011, physics was the fourth most popular subject for A-level among boys in English schools but for girls the subject languished in 19th place.  The institute of Physics is working on improving the number of girls taking physics at A level.

At Rooks Heath College we are committed to increasing the number of girls doing physics at A level and I hope to report on some of the activities carried out at a later date.
