Physics is fundamental to our understanding of the universe from the largest galaxy to the smallest subatomic particle. The A-Level Physics course will fascinate you and undoubtedly provide plenty of challenge. You will have opportunities to develop practical skills, practise datahandling, increase your understanding of the part that Mathematics plays in Physics, use imagination, place Physics in a social or historical context, argue about issues that arise and develop your ICT skills. Physics is an excellent choice for anyone intending to study one of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects at university. It is also extremely well respected as one of the most academically rigorous A-Level subjects.
For entry into the Sixth Form we require a positive end of school testimonial and normally the securing of a minimum six GCSEs, including Maths and English, at grades 9-5 (or grade equivalent). Students should achieve a grade 6 or above in those subjects they wish to take at A-Level. For subjects with no associated GCSE, the grades achieved in other subjects will be taken into consideration.

Physics is an excellent choice for anyone intending to study one of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects at university. It is also extremely well respected as one of the most academically rigorous A-Level subjects. It is expected that you will achieve at least a grade 7 in GCSE Physics (or double award science). Additionally, we recommend that students taking Physics should have a grade 7 or above in GCSE Mathematics. Although A-Level Mathematics is not a pre-requisite for the course, it is strongly advised and those students without this may find aspects of the course difficult without additional maths lessons.
