Year 11 Physics Curriculum planner

As in years 9 and 10 Independent Study Guides are available in the Physics Files for all topics covered in the GCSE course. These should be used to aid revision for end of topic tests, Prelim and final examinations. A Year 11 revision check list will be issued to all the boys before their Prelim exams which contains all the topics to be examined in the summer. Class teachers will highlight the areas that will not be examined in the Prelim so boys can focus their revision effectively.

If boys wish to use the information for end of topic tests or to help focus revision preparation beforehand it can be accessed through the Year 11 Physics Revision Booklet

All boys are issued a text book, CGP AQA GCSE Physics which is specifically written to cover the new AQA 9-1 Physics

We offered all parents the opportunity to purchase a CGP revision guide through the school at the start of Year 10, however if that opportunity was missed the details can be found below:
