At Key Stage 5 we offer the AQA A-level Physics (7408). This course is a two year A-level course. During the course students will study:
- Particles and radiation
- Waves
- Mechanics and materials
- Electricity
- Further mechanics and thermal physics
- Fields and their consequences
- Nuclear physics
- Astrophysics (selected option)
Alongside this, students will also be taught relevant practical skills through a variety of practical based activities, which includes twelve required practical tasks to gain the accreditation in this area.
Independent study: Students will be required to complete 6 – 8 hours of independent study as directed by their teachers, which will include pre-reading, consolidation of work covered in lessons and exam practice tasks.
If you require any more information, please contact Mr Adam Yeo (A level Physics teacher) or Ms Karen de Boer (KS5 lead).
