These new Physics courses were introduced in September 2015. AS and A Level qualifications are separate and have completely different exams. The AS course is one year and is examined at the end of year 12 with two 90 minute papers. The A Level course covers 2 year’s work, including the material studied at AS. It is examined with 3 papers each 2 hours. The practical understanding of Physics will be tested across the written papers with a particular focus in paper 3 (A-level). Separately, a certificate of endorsement from the school will be awarded to those students who have reached the Common Practical Assessment Criteria required by many universities to study at a higher level. This demonstrates a candidate’s competence at carrying out lab based practical work.
Candidates should have achieved at least a 6 at GCSE in this subject with a 6/7 or higher preferable. A similar grade in Mathematics would be expected.
