Physics is a core subject at GCSE, either as a standalone qualification or as part of the combined science specification. Physics is a highly regarded and rigorous academic subject, developing scientific literacy skills as well as reinforcing numeracy and mathematical work. Physics provides a robust introduction to problem-solving which is valuable in any scientific or mathematical study beyond GCSE. The topics covered include energy, forces, waves and electricity.
Entry to the Sixth Form is subject to a minimum requirement of 5 GCSEs at Grade 6 unless there is a compelling reason to modify this requirement, and in any event, where this is necessary it will usually lead to the applicant being offered a BTEC or BTEC with one A Level as a Sixth Form course. Candidates must achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject to be studied at A level, and a Grade 7 in the case of Mathematics, any Science or a Modern Foreign Language.
