Physics

Entry Requirements

Pupils who have followed GCSE courses are normally required to have: • taken at least 8 subjects • achieved Grade 5 or better in Mathematics and English (Language) • achieved the entry standard for their chosen A Level subjects available to him/her in the option groups A minimum Grade 7 is normally required in GCSE/IGCSE Physics although a Grade 6 may be acceptable. Pupils who have taken Combined Science would be expected to gain 7-7. We would normally expect pupils to also have achieved a Grade 7 in Mathematics. In the Sixth Form, Physics has a high mathematical content and anyone weak in mathematics should think seriously before taking up Physics at A Level. Students who are also studying Mathematics at A Level usually find that they have an advantage in Physics.
