In Science, our curriculum intent is: • To deliver an engaging and challenging curriculum, which enables students to reach their maximum potential by building upon and developing their scientific knowledge, working scientifically and mathematical skills. • To make connections between science and Catholicity, and science within local and wider contexts. The two-year Physics A Level course covers a range of topics from across the wide spectrum of Physics. Mechanics make up a large portion of the course but other areas such as the nature of light, electricity, and space are covered in some depth. In your first year, you will study particles and radiation, waves and oscillations, mechanics and materials, and electricity. In your second year, you will study further mechanics and thermal physics, fields, and their consequences, Nuclear Physics, and an optional topic chosen from, astrophysics, medical physics, engineering physics, turning points in physics, and electronics.
Students require a minimum of Grade 4 in either English Language or English Literature and a Grade 4 in Math's. In total five grade 4’s are required. If you want to study Physics you will need a Grade 5 in Mathematics
