Assessment

In Upper Sixth we also study the ‘Turning Points’ optional module. This looks at some of the major discoveries in Physics from a historical perspective (as well as a physics perspective) and their impact on our theories and thinking. It also reviews aspects of the work covered in Lower Sixth and helps support pupils in their preparation for the final exams.
