Students follow the OCR Physics A program of study in the Sixth form. The A-Level content is spread across both Year 12 and Year 13. In Year 12 students will study the following topics: Module 1 | Development of practical skills in Physics (also crosses into Year 13) Module 2 | Foundations in physics Module 3 | Forces and motion Module 4 | Electrons, waves and photons We also aim to cover some of the year 2 content before the end of the year to ensure that the course is completed in the spring term of Year 13.
38 points overall from the best eight GCSE subjects including a grade 4 in English Language and Mathematics. High grade 6 in GCSE Physics and Maths. Those with grade 6,7 in GCSE Combined Science (with a 6 in Physics papers) will also be considered.
In Year 12 Physics students will be regularly assessed on their current learning through module tests. There are 15 module tests in Year 12. We also have formal internal testing which is used to inform current levels and predictions. Towards the start of the year, students will take the ‘right choice review’ exam. There are also two formal mock exams and a final mock in July.
