Physics is the science that deals with fundamental laws of nature: why things happen the way they do, all over the universe, from the subatomic particles to the very large galaxies, and everything in between. It equips you with problem-solving skills, analytical skills, and mathematical skills and allows you to start to explore the realms that Physics has an influence over, from basic structures, and the clever uses of quite fundamental entities like waves, to the evolution of the universe and the development of particle accelerators. Studying the subject at A Level fosters the skills of logical thinking, working independently and expressing oneself clearly and concisely; all valuable skills in whatever route you take after school. At A Level, you finally get to study physics through mathematics. In Year 12, you will cover the topics of Mechanics, Materials, Waves, Electricity and Quantum Physics. In Year 13, you cover Further Mechanics, Oscillations, Electric, Magnetic and Gravitational Fields, Particle Physics, Nuclear Decay and Astrophysics. The course allows learning every topic of physics there is. As a Physics A Level student, you will be encouraged to attend university lectures, and summer courses, in addition to the regular Tuesday lecture slot. There is also the opportunity to support or initiate a Physics club for younger years and collaborate with other schools on some events. We are also travelling to Geneva to visit the particle accelerator at CERN next year! Finally, students with an interest in engineering will be able to do the Engineering Development Trust scheme and gain a Gold Industrial Cadets award. “I love Physics because it’s the perfect combination of maths and the real world. Physics allows you to understand everything around you and gain a wider knowledge for a great variety of things.” A successful A Level student will be eager to expand her understanding from GCSE, resilient when faced with challenging problems, and will persevere when facing seemingly difficult hurdles. They will be an independent learner, using their spare time to practise the skills learnt in lessons in other fora. Strong mathematical skills will support the course, and the study of A-level maths is required.
