As well as being concerned with deep fundamental questions, Physics forms the basis for much of present and future technology. For example, when optical disk drives were developed, it was crucial that the physics of lasers and the interaction of light with matter were well understood. This in turn depended on an understanding of atomic and quantum physics.
To study A Level courses, students need to achieve at least five Grade 6s as a basic entry level. However, if students wish to study one of the three A Level sciences, they must achieve a minimum of a GCSE grade 7 in the science they wish to study. If a student wishes to study A Level Maths, they must achieve a GCSE grade 7 in Maths and to study Further Maths, students must achieve a minimum of a Grade 8 in GCSE Maths. Individual circumstances may be considered when students have performed well in talent subjects e.g. Art, Drama, Photography.
Assessment will focus on aspects of planning, carrying out, analysing and evaluating experiments.
