Physics students at Walthamstow Hall will enjoy appropriately small class sizes, close attention from two teachers and ample equipment and resources for the course and associated practicals. Where appropriate, every lesson will contain a practical element to demonstrate the real-world nature of Physics, even making use of a special dark room for experiments with light. Students go on enriching trips which enhance and go beyond what is taught in the classroom.
The A Level Physics course takes content learnt at IGCSE level and investigates further with a more quantitative approach, also delving further into ‘why’, not just ‘how’. To be successful in Physics in the Sixth Form it is recommended to have gained at least a grade 8 in I/GCSE Combined Science or grade 8 in I/GCSE Separate Science Physics, and also at least a grade 8 in I/GCSE Mathematics.
Paper 1 - Written exam: 2 hours - 85 marks - 34% of A Level. Paper 2 - Written exam: 2 hours - 85 marks - 34% of A Level. Paper 3 - Section A Compulsory section: Practical skills and data analysis. Section B: Students enter for one of 5 option topics. Written exam: 2 hours - 80 marks - 32% of A Level.
