The study of A Level Physics allows students to explore conceptual ideas about how the world works and facilitates the development of their analytical, problem-solving and experimental skills. Year 1 Much of what is studied in the Lower Sixth in Physics builds on what students have learned as part of their GCSE work, in particular, Electricity, Mechanics and Waves. New topics for students are Particles and Quantum Phenomena. Year 2 In the Upper Sixth, we move on to more complex and more mathematical ideas in Physics, with topics including Circular Motion and Simple Harmonic Motion, Thermal Physics, Ideal Gases, Nuclear Physics and Fields (gravitational, electrical and magnetic).
• GCSE Maths: You must achieve a grade 7 or higher • GCSE English or English Language: You must achieve a grade 7 or higher • A Level subjects: You must achieve a grade 7, 8, or 9 in your chosen A Level subjects. For some subjects, a minimum of grade 8 or 9 is required (see below) Grade 7-9 in Physics. Grade 7 in Mathematics is desirable.
