Physics is both conceptually and mathematically challenging and can only be mastered through a deep understanding rather than memorisation of factual information. We adopt a traditional academic and scholarly approach to learning where students are encouraged to read journals and books beyond the curriculum, to engage with deep learning outside the classroom consistently through the use of Microsoft Teams and by applying what they have learnt in class in a variety of contexts. Students are set essay questions to improve their academic literacy skills and develop an appreciation of practical science through the regular engagement with experiments in class and enrichment activities. Students also learn through modelling of abstract ideas in a variety of ways. The subject has a 40% mathematical demand and could be studied alongside a variety of A levels including Mathematics. Students will study a two-year syllabus (Edexcel: 9PH0) for A level Physics which is terminally assessed at the end of the course.
