Physics

Course summary

Pupils choosing Physics will study the Edexcel A-Level course. This is an interesting and varied course that is assessed by three exams at the of the Upper Sixth. The topics covered in these papers are spread out over the two-year course and this allows for links to be made between the various areas of Physics. There is no course work but 16 compulsory practicals which are completed throughout the Sixth Form. Whilst this laboratory work is assessed internally and does not contribute to the final grade, you will be examined on skills learnt from them in the final paper.
