Physics

Course summary

Physics is the study of how matter and energy interact. It is a fascinating subject that is interwoven with every aspect of our lives. In the A-level course, you will learn about Physics on the grandest scale –what is the nature of the Universe and how has it evolved? You will also delve into the very smallest of scales – what are the particles that are the building blocks of the nucleus? Physics is a practical subject, and our approach is to couple theoretical lessons with as much practical work as possible. There will also be many opportunities to engage in extra-curricular activities such as the Physics Olympiad and the chance to visit CERN in Geneva.
