Physics

Assessment

This A Level is a two-year linear course which will culminate in three exams at the end of year 13. There is no practical coursework that will contribute to the final grade, however, there will be a standard set of practical skills that will be assessed in the final written exams at the end of the course. Students will be awarded a separate practical endorsement alongside their A-level physics grade. This will be a teacher-assessed endorsement based on the student’s competency against a set of practical assessment criteria. Students will be assessed as either pass or not reported. The endorsement will not contribute to the overall grade for their A Level Physics qualification, but the result will be recorded on the student’s certificate.
