If you have an inquisitive mind and want to understand HOW the world works, the study of Physics will provide many of the answers. This course will develop your essential scientific knowledge and understanding, as well as establish links between theory and experiment. Some pupils may choose Physics simply because they enjoy it or because they know that it is highly regarded by universities as a test of problem-solving ability and logical thought. The ability to work in groups as well as independently is paramount in your development during the course Physics A level gives pupils a seamless transition from GCSE to university courses in Physics and Physics-related disciplines. It maintains pupils’ enthusiasm for Physics and develops their interest in the subject. The course offers practical and investigative experience throughout the two years of study and many context-based applications. A level of Physics, especially combined with Mathematics, is an important qualification for many degree courses and future careers. A-level Physicists go on to work in Astrophysics, Engineering, Astronomy and Meteorology, to name but a few areas. The subject also complements careers in Medicine, Veterinary Science, Mathematics, Computing, Finance, Law, Accountancy, and Geology. Combined with an Arts subject, Physics is useful for those considering Architecture, Broadcasting, Journalism or Surveying.
Passes in a minimum of six subjects at GCSE (Grade B or above or Grade 6 on the number grading scheme). There is a minimum requirement of 40 points accrued across the six highest GCSE grades to enter the Sixth Form at Croydon High. To take Physics A level you will be expected to achieve a minimum of a grade 7 in Mathematics and grade 8 in GCSE Physics. It is highly desirable to study A-level Mathematics as 40% of the marks available within written exams will involve the use of A level Maths content.
We follow the OCR A-level course. The content is split into six modules: • Development of practical skills in physics • Foundations in physics • Forces and motion • Electrons, waves and photons • Newtonian world and astrophysics • Particles and medical physics
