The course develops familiar subject matter studied at GCSE level, such as Waves and Electricity, but also focuses on new and exciting topics, including Particle Physics. The Option topic permits a further area of Physics to be studied in greater depth. A variety of teaching styles and techniques are employed to bring the subject alive, and to emphasise the relevance of Physics in today’s technological society, a variety of contexts and applications are presented.
TO PURSUE THE A LEVEL COURSE SUCCESSFULLY, PUPILS IDEALLY NEED A MINIMUM OF: GCSE Physics Grade 7 or equivalent and Grade 7 in Mathematics We strongly recommend that A Level students have studied Triple Science or its equivalent. If you wish to study one or more of the sciences at A Level and have taken the Double Science GCSE please discuss this with the relevant Head of Subject.
Physics is offered as a two year full A Level course. Over the course of the two years you will complete 12 compulsory experiments, where you will be assessed on your practical skills and the ability to carry out practical work in a safe and scientific manner. Physics is a hands-on subject and throughout the two years you will study the following topics: • Measurements and their errors • Particles and Radiation • Waves • Mechanics and materials • Further Mechanics and thermal Physics • Electricity • Fields and their consequences • Nuclear Physics • Option topic At the end of the two years you will sit three written papers, each two hours long, as described below: Paper 1: Sections 1-5 and 6.1 (34% of A Level) Paper 2: Sections 6.2, 7 and 8 (34% of A Level) Paper 3: Practical skills and data analysis and Section 9 (32% of A Level)
