Physics

Entry Requirements

Pupils must normally achieve five GCSEs in grades 9 to 4, including English and Maths. Candidates are expected to have a grade of 6 or above in the subjects they wish to take in the Sixth Form. Consideration will be given in exceptional circumstances to change this by the Headmaster. Sixth Form pupils intending to study A Level Physics should have a good grade in GCSE Physics or Combined Science. There should be ability in Mathematics but it is not necessary to study A-level mathematics in order to be successful in A-level physics. Nevertheless, pupils who do study A-level mathematics will find that they are at a significant advantage due to the overlap of the two subjects.
