Course summary

We deliver the Edexcel A-level Physics course. Students following this course develop an understanding of key Physics principles and apply these to explain physical phenomena and technologies. They are taught in small, friendly groups in well-equipped laboratories and have many opportunities for hands-on experimental work to develop their understanding of scientific method. Students quickly become confident and independent experimentalists, happy to try out new challenges.
