Course summary

Physics is about exploring the world; how it works, how it came into existence and predicting how it will behave in the future. If you are looking for an interesting and rewarding A Level subject that will have wide currency when it comes to applying for Higher Education, then Physics could be the answer. The course is taught with a focus on practical work throughout and lessons typically involve a blend of student led practical work, demonstrations, discussion and guided problem solving. Students are also expected to complete a substantial amount of independent practice in problem solving. A reasonable proficiency in mathematics is required, along with the ability visualise abstract concepts and apply prior learning to new applications.
