William Grover was awarded a Gold Medal and book prize for his outstanding achievement in the recent round of 2012 British Physics Olympiad. William was placed in the top 100 in the country as a result of his response to the test. This compliments his other successes in the UK Mathematics Trust Challenge.
The British Physics Olympiad has run for 25 years and is entered annually by over 1,600 talented young physicists. The examination-based competition has a dual purpose: to challenge and reward the best physicists in British schools and to select the UK Physics Team for competition at international level.
