Physics

Entry Requirements

Sixth Form candidates are encouraged to apply in the Autumn Term of the year preceding entry and are generally required to have a minimum of two 7 and three 6 grades at GCSE, and a minimum of grade 5 in Mathematics and English, with some subject-specific requirements, as listed in our Sixth Form Curriculum Guide. In addition to the ‘traditional’ A Level offer, in September 2023, the School introduced BTEC in Sport. This pathway was open to elite performers who are linked with our Saracens Partnership. Grade 7 in GCSE Physics or 7-7 in Combined Sciences. If taking Combined Science we would expect your mark in the Physics component to be of at least 7 standard. Although our A-level Physicists are not strictly required to take A-level Mathematics we would strongly advise pupils considering A-level Physics to include A-level Mathematics in their combination.
