What the college says
Clearly Physics is an incredibly practical course and we try to take every opportunity to learn through practical investigation. We like to teach the measurements and errors topic through these practicals rather than as a very dry separate unit and believe this is a much more interesting approach.

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
