At A-Level we follow the OCR A Physics course. In Lower Six, pupils will study the fundamentals of mechanics, electric circuits and waves, while we also introduce the intriguing and counter-intuitive world of Quantum Mechanics. In Upper Six, pupils encounter electric and magnetic fields, capacitors and simple harmonic motion. However, they also explore nuclear physics, astrophysics, and diagnostic and treatment techniques in medicine. The course has recently been augmented with the latest ideas concerning dark matter and particle physics. Pupils are expected to display competent and capable research skills and to keep a laboratory book as part of their evidence towards the Practical Endorsement.
Admission to the school is a conditional place based on achieving a minimum of 6x6 grade passes at GCSE; this is a minimum entry requirement and higher grades might be necessary in intended A Level subjects, namely the Sciences and Maths.
Pupils will complete six hours’ worth of examinations at the end of the Upper Sixth: two papers for 2 hours 15 minutes and one paper for 1 hour 30 minutes.
