Staff Spotlight: Adam Clarke, Senior Master & Teacher of Physics 

Our pupils do amazing things every single day, but behind those achievements are all of the hardworking staff here at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú' School. In Staff Spotlights we look to explore the diverse backgrounds and skills of the people who make ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú' a great place to be. This week we hear from Adam Clarke, Senior Master, Teacher of Physics 

When did you join ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú'?

January 2001

 

Tell us about your subject. What excites you about it? How did you get into it?

I teach Physics and enjoy the way that applying a few basic problems allows for complicated problems to be solved. To be honest I am sure not how I got into it as if I had carried on with my best subjects at O-level, Physics would not have made the cut! 

 

What are you most proud of outside of your work at school?

Mmm, tricky. I don't know how it happened, but I secured a cameo role in a film a few years ago. The way it was finally cropped means you can't so easily tell when I appear, but I am told it was very popular in Iraq!

 

What did you study at A-Level?

Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Further Maths and General Studies. That last one often raises an eyebrow, but back in the day it was a very good test of one's all round education.

 

What piece of media would you recommend and why?

This week commemorates the 80th Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, so I recommend Schindler's list as a reminder of what humanity is capable and why it is important that good people do what they can to prevent terrible things happening.
