The pupils are taught by dedicated and experienced specialist teachers who aim to inspire and increase their interest in the subject. They are encouraged to develop a wide spectrum of skills through theory and application. They are taught in small groups, and they are also given the opportunities to engage in onetoone interactions with their teachers. We offer a wealth of extra curricular activities such as an opportunity to get involved in research, experimentation, or competitions such as the British Physics Olympiad. We organise trips such as to the Dungeness nuclear Power station, Live science lectures and CERN in Geneva. Our aim is to increase curiosity, engagement and support every pupil to achieve their potential. Physics A Level combines well with Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, and Computing. It is an excellent foundation for further study of Physics, Natural sciences, Engineering (and related subjects such as Metallurgy, Materials Science), Geophysics, also Mathematics-related courses, Medicine, Medical Physics, History and Philosophy of Science, Computing, and other related courses.
This is a linear two-year course with exams taken at the end of the two years. The specification is divided into 6 modules, starting in the first year with foundation skills, then building on GCSE knowledge of forces, motion, electricity, and quantum physics waves but in greater depth. It requires a good mathematical background as 40% of the marks available in the examinations will be for the assessment of Mathematics. To enter the course, it is advisable that the pupils have at least grade 6 in GCSE Physics or grade 7 in GCSE Combined Science and a minimum grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics.
During the two-year course they gain a range of practical skills, and they build up a folder of written assignments of a minimum of 12 investigations. If they meet all the criteria at the end, they are awarded a "Pass." 1. Modelling Physics - 100 marks, 2h 15 min. 2. Exploring Physics -100 marks, 2h 1 Smin. 3. Unified Physics - 70 marks, 1 h 30min. 4. Practical Endorsement - non-exam assessment.
