The ‘outstanding feat’ was achieved by Jiale Pan, a 6.1 student at Concord College, who was taking part in a prestigious international physics competition for high school students.
In addition to being in the world top 100 in individual results, he was the highest ranking student from any UK school.
More than 1,000 schools worldwide competed in the Physics Bowl competition for both individual and school honours which was organised by the American Association of Physics Teachers. Students who had been studying physics for the longest took on the more advanced ‘Division 2’ paper aimed at pre-university student level. Concord College’s team came an impressive fourth in their international region in the harder Division 2 paper.
Concord’s region included the whole of Europe and parts of the USA as well as a number of other countries.
