What the college says

The topics are taught in such a way to initially build on topics covered in Key Stage 4 starting with Waves and Mechanics. As well as increased depth of knowledge in these areas students will face increasingly demanding mathematical challenge in applying their understanding of physical phenomena. Subsequent topics include Electricity and Particle and Nuclear Physics which will introduce new areas to the students. Required practicals will be integrated at the relevant points.In Year 13 the level of demand increases with Further Mechanics and Fields illustrates how models can be applied across the different areas of gravitational, electric and magnetic fields. Students will then follow one of four options based partially on student preference - Astrophysics, Medical physics, Turning points in physics, Engineering physics, Electronics.
