Physics
Physics aims to describe, understand and predict processes in the material world, and is foundational for other branches of science and technology. An understanding of Physics is a valuable asset in an increasingly technological world.
At The Perse, we aim to develop pupils who
- have an enjoyment of and interest in Physics
- are inquisitive, confident to ask questions and able to apply the scientific method of enquiry
- understand the themes of Physics with increasing depth and sophistication
- are able to articulate their understanding
- are keen to investigate and equipped with practical skills
- appreciate the broader relevance of Physics
- catch the vision to become the next generation of scientists and engineers
All pupils study Physics from Year 7 to IGCSE level; enjoyment of the subject and the reward of success at IGCSE leads many to go on to study Physics at A level or Pre-U. All lessons are taught by Physics specialists in well-equipped Physics laboratories and we put a strong emphasis on practical work. We encourage pupils to develop increasing independence, as we believe this is essential for success in the world beyond school.
