We are looking for students with enthusiasm to understand the physical world around them and with the determination to be successful. It is not a requirement that students studying Physics also study Maths, but a good grasp of basic algebra is essential and combined study of A Level Maths would be beneficial. Please note that about 40% of the total marks in the A Level Physics exams will require the use of Level 2 (Higher tier GCSE) mathematical skills. The AQA Physics A specification is based around a common core of knowledge and skills and provides the skills and knowledge required to progress into Higher Education in a wide range of subjects such as Physics and Engineering as well as Medicine, Oceanography, Meteorology and Veterinary Sciences.
- Physics 7 (or Combined Science 7-7) and Mathematics 7 - At least 6 GCSE subjects at Grade 6 or above. - At least a Grade 5 in English.
The A Level course is assessed by three 2 hour terminal examinations. Papers will cover the knowledge content and application of Physics concepts in Units 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and will include a mix of long and short answer questions, along with a number of multiple choice sections. The 12 standard practical tasks which are used to gather data and assess skills are also formally assessed in the terminal examinations.
