Course summary

Students at Hedingham School follow the AQA Physics specification at A Level. This course has been designed to explain the universe from the very small sub-atomic quantum physics level, to understanding how all matter and energy in the universe behaves. A Level Physics forms the basis for many other subjects including Chemistry and Biology, as well as being essential for courses such as Engineering and Astrophysics. Students will develop skills in problem solving and quantitative reasoning that opens the door into working in areas far beyond the scope of Physics itself.
