Physics
What will your child study?
In the Lower School, we lay a foundation of fundamental physical concepts. The content broadly follows that of the National Curriculum Key Stage 3. In Year 7 the focus is on forces and materials, and in Year 8 we major on energy, electricity and space. The course is structured to develop basic skills in scientific investigation and to encourage a questioning frame of mind.
How will they be assessed?
Pupils are given informal feedback on their practical skills during lessons. Formal assessment is through marked homework and end of topic tests.
