You will be able to study GCSE Astronomy alongside your choice of Science GCSEs.

Astronomy will allow you to access the A Level in Physics with a minimum of a grade 6 in GCSE Physics or 6-6 in Combined Science. In addition, to study Physics at A Level you will also need a minimum of a grade 6 in GCSE Maths.

We aim to promote the study of Astronomy in ways that help you to develop curiosity about the nature of space beyond earth, give you an insight into how astronomy works and enable you to appreciate its relevance to your everyday lives.

The scope and nature of the study will be broad, coherent, practical and satisfying. It should encourage you to be inspired, motivated and challenged by the subject and its achievements.
