If one asks 'Why are physicists so successful?' the answer becomes readily evident and very obvious. People trained in the physical sciences are generally highly numerate, good at problem solving, logical thinkers, capable of learning quickly, analytical thinkers and innovative. These skills are regarded as extremely valuable in the community and the commercial world, and those who possess them can expect to be sought after and well remunerated. From September 2015 onwards we have chosen to follow the new AQA Physics specification to give our students the best possible opportunity to succeed with engaging physics that is relevant to their real world experiences. This course will develop the skills universities and employers want to see in their applicants, while also nurturing a passion for Physics. The course provides numerous opportunities to use practical experiences to link theory to reality, equipping our students with the practical skills they will need in further scientific education. Physics is a popular subject at Knights Templar, attracting some of the most able students in the school. 43% of last year’s year 13 cohort achieved an A* or A grade, with 71% A*-C.
