This two-year OCR Physics A-level course allows pupils to study a wide range of physical ideas and concepts to a high level. The course provides excellent preparation for pupils considering studying Physics, Engineering, Mathematics or any Science-related courses at university. CONTENT OVERVIEW OF A LEVEL PHYSICS: • Lower Sixth (Year 1): mechanics, materials, electricity, waves, quantum ideas and experimental skills • Upper Sixth (Year 2): thermal physics, circular motion, oscillations, electric and gravitational fields, electromagnetism, nuclear and particle physics, medical imaging, astrophysics and cosmology.
Successful candidates will be offered a place conditional on specified grades at I/GCSE, typically a minimum of six I/GCSEs in grades 8-9. Sporting, creative and other talents are also important as they form an integral part of the Sixth Form programme.
PAPER 1 (MODELLING PHYSICS): Written paper. 2 hours 15 minutes. 100 marks. PAPER 2 (EXPLORING PHYSICS): Written paper. 2 hours 15 minutes. 100 marks. PAPER 3 (UNIFIED PHYSICS): Written paper. 1 hour 30 minutes. 70 marks. PRACTICAL ENDORSEMENT Practical work carried out in the laboratory over the two-year course.
