Subject Intent
Fellowship
We hold the view that progress in science is a team effort. The curriculum encourages a sense of community among students through joint projects, mutual tutoring, and collective discussions. These activities help students value different viewpoints, function efficiently in teams, and play and active role in a nurturing educational environment.
Aspiration
A Level Physics invites students to expand their current knowledge, creating an environment that encourages aiming high. Our goral is to motivate students to pursue lofty objectives, whether in further education, STEM careers, or in scientific research contributions. The curriculum shines a light on the accomplishments of physicists from the past and today, showing how ambition and persistence have led to significant discoveries that have transformed our world.
Integrity
In science, integrity is crucial. Our course stresses the importance of ethical behaviour, precise data gathering, and truthful results reporting. Through supervised experiments and projects, students are taught to engage in scientific inquiry with a dedication to honesty and moral duty, readying them for ethical participation in a scientifically and technologically advanced society.
Tenacity
Studying physics requires frit and perseverance. The curriculum presents students with complex ideas and demanding problem-solving exercises, encouraging them to see difficulties as opportunities for insight. By persisting in the face of tough subjects and experiments, students cultivate the resilience needed for success in physics and other areas.
Humility
Humility is essential in the quest for knowledge. Our curriculum guides students to approach physics with an open mind, acknowledging their own limits and the immense unknowns still to explore. This humility instils a lasting passion for learning and a reverence for the yet-to-be-unravelled mysteries of the universe.
