GCSE Physics is one of seven qualifications in our Science for all suite, developed with teachers to inspire and challenge students of all abilities and aspirations.

We tell a coherent and logical story through physics, with new topics based on feedback from you. At the heart of the course are eight required practicals, and guidance on how to integrate them into your teaching.

Our improved exams have fewer words, fewer contexts, and questions that increase in difficulty.

This specification provides great preparation for AS and A-level, without overlapping content.
