KS4 Specification - AQA
The Physics department at West Kirby Grammar School consists of four teachers, who are all Physics specialists. At Key Stage 3, students study Physics for one lesson a week and study a variety of topics including energy, forces and motion, space, electricity and waves as well as developing their practical and analytical skills. All of our curriculum is designed with our HPL philosophy in mind and students develop their interest and enthusiasm in the physics of all that is around them. Students can choose to either study separate or combined sciences at GCSE. The number of students opting to study A-level Physics has grown over the last seven years, attracting two teaching groups each year.
The Science Department has 12 fully-equipped laboratories, with state-of-the-art and fully interactive technology. We offer a large number of opportunities to enrich our curriculum, including KS3 and 4 trips to the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge, a Key Stage 5 visit to CERN in Geneva, KS3 Science Club, Exploring Science Club, Physics Society and masterclasses at the University of Liverpool.
