A-Level Physics

Course summary

Physics offers students the opportunity to understand all that is around them, from sub-atomic particles to the entire Universe. As physicists they will develop new ways to observe and understand the way the Universe works. The course is built around six modules that help develop students’ knowledge, understanding and skills in Physics. As in other sciences, the Physics A Level contains a significant practical element, which is designed to enhance students’ experimental skills. This approach also allows students to explore the world around them in an exciting, hands-on way that supports their theoretical understanding. Assessments completed throughout the year give students plenty of opportunity to reflect on their progress and address areas of development, with the support and guidance of their teachers.
