The British Physics Olympiad Senior Physics Challenge (SPC) is a national competition aimed at Year 12 (first year of A-level or equivalent) students. There are two routes: SPC Online, a quiz-style competition made up of two 30-minute multiple-choice sets designed to encourage wider reading and interest in physics; and the traditional paper SPC, a one-hour problem-based paper that challenges students' problem-solving and application of core physics principles.

Both competitions are intended to be taken in school under teacher supervision and are not permitted to be sat remotely. The online event is run via the BPhO Competition Platform and is accessible to capable students (not an Olympiad-level paper). The paper competition uses a problem-set format with past papers recommended for preparation; teachers download papers from the Competition Platform and mark scripts in school using the provided mark scheme.

Entry arrangements vary: SPC Online charges £20 for a school entry (up to 999 students), the paper competition is free for (UK) schools while international schools have a £20 fee for up to 100 students. Results, reports and supporting materials (sample questions, past papers, mark schemes) are available on the Competition Platform. Selected top performers may be invited (with their teacher) to the Royal Society awards.

Join Blue Rivers for a three-part online Summer Poetry Reading Series held over Zoom. Each session features poets published on Blue Rivers followed by an opportunity for other attendees to read if time allows. Sessions are intended as readings rather than workshops: there is no critique, only shared listening, brief Q&A as time permits, and a welcoming space for community. Each session runs for about an hour and aims for roughly 8-10 minutes per reader (a little more if the group is small). Reading is optional - you can register to listen only, or register and indicate interest in a reading slot via the reader sign-up made available to registrants. The hosts will share the Zoom link and reader sign-up form with those who register through Eventbrite. The series emphasizes respectful conduct (no hate speech, erotic content, or disruptions) and sessions will not be recorded. Individual sessions stand on their own, so you are welcome to attend one, two, or all three dates.

A live Q&A with the course lead will give visitors the chance to ask questions about the programme and what it is like to study engineering at UCL.
