Physics

Course summary

Physics is at the heart of everything. from the building blocks of the atom to the great expanse of the universe. How did the universe begin, and how will it end? Physics opens the door to a wide variety of career paths. The skills you will develop by studying Physics are those that employers will be looking for in recruits. The range of potential career paths is huge - astrophysicists, geologists, pilots and surgeons all find A-level physics essential. Physics may be theoretical but the fun is real! We endeavour to teach the subject in a fun, relevant way at all levels. This is reflected in the popularity of Physics at A Level. In many ways, Physics in the Sixth Form is similar to GCSE: we will cover many familiar topics, such as forces and motion, electricity and waves. The advantage at A Level is that, as we develop a greater level of complexity in both our explanations and understanding of these basic phenomena, we can apply them to many real-life situations.
