The topics covered include: • Mechanics • Materials • Electricity • Waves and quantum phenomena • Thermodynamics • Circular motion • Oscillations • Gravitational fields • Astrophysics and cosmology • Capacitors • Electric and magnetic fields • Nuclear and particle physics Pupils will also work towards the practical endorsements in lessons completing a series of practical activities over the two years. This will lead to a Pass or Fail of the endorsement. This element is completely separate to the A Level and no marks from this contribute towards the final A Level grade.
5+ Grade 5s at GCSE or equivalent. Grade 4 in English. In addition: All students must have Grade 6+ in Maths owing to the considerable mathematical content of the new A Levels. It is strongly recommended also that students have attained Grade 7 or better in GCSE Science subjects. For Combined Science students is a Grade 7-6 or above. For Separate Science students are Grade 6 in Physics plus Grade 6 in one other science.
The A Level is assessed using three exams taken in the Summer of Year 13. The first two papers will cover a differing selection of topics across the two years of study, while the third paper will be synoptic in nature, including all topics, and focus more on an understanding of experimental methods and analytical techniques.
