Stonyhurst pupils will learn about the universe and the amazing range of different ways that nature’s building blocks can be put together and interact with each other. Practical work is considered to be an essential part of the subject and pupils are taught how to be competent and responsible experimental scientists. We teach pupils to look critically at the world and how our theories and ideas have developed through the ages. At Stonyhurst, we aim to help students develop skills and capabilities that will help them in their adult and working lives. The Physics staff are well qualified and enthusiastic and work hard to develop an academically challenging learning environment which includes the provision of drop-in clinics, tutorials and studies classes. Year 1: • Development of practical skills in Physics • Fundamentals of Physics • Forces and Motion • Electron, Waves and Quantum Year 2: • Newtonian World • Astrophysics • Particles • Medical Physics
Entry to the Sixth Form is based upon interview (via video or telephone call, if international), a satisfactory performance in the entrance examination, completion of a 500-word handwritten personal statement and submission of satisfactory school reports and school reference. We would also expect good performance at GCSE (or equivalent). Applicants would normally be required to have obtained a minimum of 5 Grade 6 passes at GCSE (or equivalent). Applicants for the Cambridge Technical course would be expected to achieve Grade 4 passes at GCSE including Maths and English Language, together with 3 other Grade 4s at GCSE. Some international pupils may be required to sit the Oxford Placement test. UK boarders will also be required to complete an overnight trial board if becoming a boarder.
