Physics A Level from AQA provides a seamless transition to A Level from previous studies at IGCSE and develops students interest and enthusiasm for physics. The Year 13 course provides different starting points so teachers can choose to start the course with familiar or new topics. This allows the Physics department to develop a course that is not only challenging but academically stimulating for the students.

Four weekly classes of 80 minutes duration are dedicated to the study of physics over the two-year cycle. Normally, one of the four will be devoted to acquiring experimental skills through practical work in the laboratory. A full range of experiments centred mainly on mechanics, heat, light, oscillations, electricity and magnetism is undertaken.
