Physics is, quite simply: “the study of every phenomenon in the universe, from the smallest fragments of matter to the largest assemblage of galaxies and everything else in between”! Studying this fascinating subject at A Level develops logical thinking and analytical skills. Module 1: Development of practical skills in physics (skills of planning, implementing, analysis and evaluation) Module 2: Foundations of Physics (physical quantities and units, scalars and vectors, measurements) Module 3: Forces and motion (motion, forces, energy and power, materials, momentum) Module 4: Electrons, waves and photons (charge and current, energy, electric circuits, resistance, waves quantum physics) Module 5: Newtonian world and astrophysics (thermal physics, oscillations, circular motion, gravitational fields, astrophysics) Module 6: Particles and medical physics (capacitors, electric fields, electromagnetism, nuclear and particle physics, medical physics)
In addition to passing our Entrance Examinations, offers are conditional on achieving a minimum of six 9-6 grades at GCSE (or equivalent), including in the subjects to be studied at A Level, where applicable: please see individual subject entry grades on pages 13-61 for subject-specific entry requirements. Girls without these grades may be admitted subject to discussion with the Senior Deputy Head, Director of Sixth Form and the Head. Most of our Sixth Formers follow a 3 A Level programme. Students who would benefit from the opportunity for further stretch and variety are supported to follow a 4 A Level programme. Alongside their 3 or 4 A Levels, girls will also have the opportunity to complete the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) which equates to half an A Level.
