Course summary

Students who study Physics will excel in numerical reasoning and will have the ability to provide evidence for their understanding. This A Level course will encourage students to problem solve across a variety of topics, allowing them to transfer this valuable skill in to further education and employment. The wide selection of topics taught will give students an understanding in classic physics such as Newton’s laws and motion whilst also studying more modern ideas about astrophysics and quantum physics. Physics lessons are taught using a wide range of techniques. Students will carry out experimental work on a regular basis in order to deepen their understanding of the theoretical concepts. Lessons will involve group work, individual work, interactive simulations and you will have access to video lessons outside the classroom. Studying A-Level Physics provides skills that can be transferred to many different areas of work. Solving problems, analysing data and drawing connections that are not obvious to others. Physics will not give all the answers, but it will teach how to ask the right questions. It will prepare students for a wide range of future careers including: astrophysics, engineering, banking, software development, nuclear energy, optometry, architect, plus many more. Physics A Level is recognised as a facilitating A Level by most universities, including the Russell Group.
