The linear assessment enables us to teach the subject in depth across the two years of the A Level course. The topics covered in the first year of the course include: Mechanics, Materials, Electrical Circuits, Waves and Optics. The second year then goes on to investigate: Further Mechanics, Gravitational, Electrical & Magnetic Fields, Thermodynamics, Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics, Astrophysics, Medical Physics and Oscillations. Practical skills are a core aspect of the course, integrated throughout both years, and are assessed both as part of the written examinations and also a ‘Practical Endorsement’ is reported separately on the certificate of results at A Level.
Entry into the Sixth Form is conditional on performance in GCSEs and successful candidates are expected to have at least five grade 4 GCSEs (to include English and mathematics) GCSE minimum grades for acceptance: 7 in Physics or 7 7 in Comb. Science Strongly Recommended: Maths A Level
