Physics

Course summary

Since September 2015 we have been following the Edexcel Physics specification which is designed to inspire you. The AS course will give you a firm foundation of skills and in the second year you will be set free to explore the 'Wonders of the Universe' as we take a look at the vastness of space and then consider the minute particles that make everything work. The course will develop your fascination and enthusiasm for physics, and will equip you for a range of prestigious courses and careers. The course is content led allowing lessons to be challenging as well as engaging. Content is laid out clearly in a series of teaching modules, as listed above. At the start of the course there will be an emphasis on communication and calculation skills required to make the transition from GCSE to AS as smooth as possible. Although practical work will form a considerable part of the course, there is no assessed coursework component.
