Year 12 Modules Physics A (H156): 1. Development of practical skills 2. Foundations of Physics 3. Forces and motion 4. Electrons, waves and photons Year 13 Modules Physics A (H556): 1. Development of practical skills 2. Foundations of Physics 3. Forces and motion 4. Electrons, waves and photons 5. Newtonian world and astrophysics 6. Particles and medical physics
9 - 4 grades in 5 GCSE subjects (generally including Maths & English*) including 9 - 6 in at least 3 GCSE subjects. At least GCSE grade 6 in Maths plus grade 6 in single award Physics. If Combined Science then a minimum of 6,6 including grade 6 in Physics units 1 & 2. For continuation to Year 13 grades in Year 12 Physics need to demonstrate potential for A-Level success.
Year 12 Two 1½ hour written exams. Exams sat in Year 12 do not count towards the full A-Level grades as it is a linear course. Year 13 Two 2¼ hour exams and one 1½ hour written exam based on Year 12 and 13 modules. Students also need to pass a teacher-assessed practical set of tasks.
