Do you find yourself asking the BIG questions? What is the Universe? How does everything in it work? Then an A level in physics is for you. We will be following the new AQA Physics A conceptual specification, a modular course comprising 6 units. The first AS unit consists of the nucleus, quantum phenomena and electricity. The second unit examines mechanics, properties of materials and waves. The third is designed to assess your ability to carry out practical work and will require you to maintain a portfolio of your experimental work in the lead up to a practical investigation research project. At A2, the first unit consists of further mechanics and fields, whilst the second unit is covered in two options of your choice. The third unit is designed to assess your ability to carry out practical work. Your individual progress and attainment will dictate the path you take – the familiar AS to A2 route or the new 2 year linear route.
• Entry to the Sixth Form is open to those who have the desire to further their education and who have good GCSE (or equivalent) passes. • We routinely ask for at least a grade 5 at GCSE in the subject, but this is not absolute and there are exceptions. • The previous study of a subject is not always essential to be admitted onto the year 12 course. Pupils are strongly advised to have attained at least a 6 grade in GCSE Science (ideally triple award Physics). GCSE Maths at 6 grade or above is now considered essential. It is also recommended that you take A level mathematics as an accompaniment to this course.
