Physics

Entry Requirements

We expect pupils entering Sixth Form to have secured 45 points from their best 8 GCSE grades (grades of 3 or below may not be included). Students new to Dame Allan’s will also be invited to interview. The study of physics at A Level builds on work already studied so students should have a minimum of a grade 7 at GCSE. The mathematical demands of the course require competence in mathematics equivalent to at least grade 7 at GCSE. We recommend that you also take maths at A Level, but this isn’t a definitive requirement and you can still be very successful without it. Please speak to a member of the department if you are considering going down this route - this is just to check you are not closing the door on future career options you might be interested in.
