As you progress through the course you will build on your knowledge of the laws of Physics, applying your understanding to solve problems on the topics studied. A Level Physics has been developed for students who wish to continue to study Physics after GCSE. The course will prepare you to progress into further education, to follow courses in Physics, Engineering, one of the other sciences or related subjects, or to enter employment where a knowledge of Physics would be useful. Topics studied: • Development of Practical Skill. • Foundations of Physics. • Forces and motion. • Electrons, waves and photons. • Newtonian world and astrophysics. • Particles and medical physics.
At Sixth Form, entry to Abbotsholme is normally dependent on GCSE results (or equivalent passes) of at least five C grades/level 4 or above.
A-Level Physics is assessed by exam only. You will take three papers at the end of Year 13.
