This course is ideal for students with a strong interest in the way things work and those who are intrigued about the universe around them. The course covers traditional Newtonian Physics before delving into more advanced and abstract concepts. Students complete 16 core practicals over the course of the two years and demonstrate their competency in twelve common practical techniques. In Year 12 students study the foundational topics of mechanics, electric circuits, waves and particle nature of light. In Year 13 students apply the concepts covered in Year 12 and develop a wider appreciation of physics topics on particle physics, electric and magnetic fields and space.
Grade 6 in Physics and a Grade 6 in Mathematics The minimum academic requirements for entry to the Sixth Form are: • 5 higher grade passes (grades 4-9) including English Language and Maths. • To study a subject at A level we require a grade 6 in that subject or a similar subject for A level subjects which are not currently studied at GCSE.
