In the first year of study topics covered include measurements and errors, mechanics and materials, electricity, waves and radiation, particles. These topics are then developed further and linked to the further topics explored; further mechanics, gravitational fields and orbits, electric fields and capacitance, magnetic fields and induction, thermal physics and nuclear physics. A level physics students also study an option topic from the following; astrophysics, medical physics, engineering physics, turning points in physics or electronics. The available options will be agreed on by the department in consultation with the pupils at the time.
Candidates sit GL Assessments CAT4. In addition, pupils are expected to achieve 40 or more GCSE points. International pupils should have IELTS at 6.0 or equivalent. Most heads of department recommend at least a grade 7 at GCSE for subjects relevant to sixth form study.
