Physics is a fascinating subject that uses theory and experiments to understand ourselves, the world and the universe. Through studying Physics you will gain an in-depth knowledge of mechanics, electric circuits, materials, waves, particles, nuclear radiation, thermodynamics and space through both practical and theoretical lessons. You will develop and apply your analytical and problem-solving skills to a range of theoretical and practical situations. Gaining an A Level in Physics opens up a vast range of opportunities for both university degrees and career options as it is a very desirable and well-regarded qualification.
Our usual entry requirement is a GCSE Level 7 or higher in the subject that you wish to study coupled with a raft of GCSE Level 6 and above results. If you wish to study Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Maths then a Level 7 or higher is required.
Paper 1 – 1 hour 45 minutes, 30% of total mark (half the specification content will be tested using a variety of question styles including multiple choice, short open, calculations and extended writing). Paper 2 – 1 hour 45 minutes, 30% of total mark (testing the second half of the specification content with the same variety of question formats). Paper 3 – 2 hours 30 minutes, 40% of total mark (a synoptic paper which may draw on any aspect of the specification, question formats as above but omitting multiple choice). Paper 3 includes extended assessment of practical skills. There is also a practical endorsement which is internally assessed by teaching staff over the two-year course. The course includes 16 required core practicals which enable students to meet the necessary criteria.
