Course summary

Taking place in our well-resourced science labs, Physics lessons at Worksop College are about inspiring you to find out about the world in which you live. We emphasise a hands-on approach to verifying both classical and modern physical laws, from Archimedes to Niels Bohr — not just what we know, but how we know it and, importantly, how well. Physics lessons here are frequently about finding connections and hidden truths, and are a great source of those rare moments when things all ‘click’. Teaching methods are varied and, as the emphasis shifts to questioning the laws of nature, there are plenty of opportunities for you to plan and carry out experiments, communicate complex ideas, create simulations, think critically, and solve problems. All of these are highly valued by universities and employers. After completing a Physics A level, many pupils go on to read straight Physics, Engineering or Natural Sciences at leading universities. Physics is also an important subject for those wanting to pursue careers in Engineering and Architecture.

Entry requirements

Pupils entering the sixth form are expected to have obtained ‘C’ grades in most core subjects and at least a grade B in their chosen A Level subjects. They will be expected to be able to cope with the demands of A Level courses in at least three subjects. Some A Level courses require higher GCSE grades, specific details on request from the Marketing and Admissions Team.
