Description

Cambridge Lower School Physics provides an engaging and comprehensive online secondary school platform for aspiring physicists. Our online physics lessons for secondary school students are crafted to inspire curiosity and deepen understanding in the fundamental principles of physics. Tailored to meet the requirements of Key Stage 3, our online physics classes for secondary school students cover a wide range of topics to develop a strong foundation in the subject.

Assessment

Within our Key Stage 3 physics school online, assessment is continuous and multi-dimensional, encompassing LIVE TAUGHT lessons, coursework, assignments, and summative tests. This robust approach ensures that students develop both theoretical understanding and practical skills, thus gaining a well-rounded education in secondary school physics online.

Homework

Homework assignments are issued at the end of each week to enhance the learning experience in our online physics lessons for Key Stage 3 students. These assignments generally include researching key concepts, completing quizzes for recapitulation, and partaking in subject-related fun activities, as well as the completion of coursework.

Reporting

Parents have round-the-clock access to their children’s academic records, including coursework, grades, and teacher feedback, via our online portal. This transparency ensures that parents are fully informed and able to support their child’s educational journey. Additionally, parents are welcome to arrange consultations with teachers at mutually convenient times to discuss their child’s progress or any other academic concerns.

By enrolling in Cambridge Lower School Physics, students gain access to high-quality online physics education, designed to cultivate both passion and academic excellence in the field.

Physics is the study of the physical world, what it looks like and how it works. Lower School Physics is informed by the English National Curriculum Key Stage 3 Programme of Study. This ensures pupils have the expected knowledge, skills and understanding to progress to Upper School at any English school.
