Physics is the study of energy and matter and the interaction between the two. Students will develop a broad range of analytical and experimental skills as they try to answer fundamental questions about the interaction of matter and energy through both experiments and observations. Physics students will gain an insight into the applications of science in engineering, astronomy and medicine.
A Level Study: To join the Sixth Form there is an entry criteria of five standard passes at GCSE (at least a Grade 4). This must include at least a Grade 4 in English Language and Maths at GCSE. Students will need to gain at least a Grade 4 in the subjects they would like to study at A Level. For biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, English literature, French, further maths, maths there are additional subject requirements, which are available upon request.
There are six modules taught over the two years with three external written exam papers. The final A Level is based on 100% external exams. Modelling physics — (2h15mins, 37% of A-level) Exploring physics — (2h15mins, 37% of A-level) Unified physics — (1h30mins, 26% of A-level)
