OCR A Level Physics H556 — AS + A2 structure

Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR) · qualification code H556 · Linear specification

AS Level (Year 12)

OCR A Level Mathematics (H240) is linear, with content typically taught across Year 12 (AS portion) and Year 13 (A2 portion). All three papers sat at the end of Year 13.

Full A Level (Year 13)

Three papers: Paper 1 (Pure, 100 marks, 2 hours), Paper 2 (Pure + Statistics, 100 marks), Paper 3 (Pure + Mechanics, 100 marks). Pure content dominates, with Statistics and Mechanics covered alongside.

Exam series

Single summer exam series at the end of Year 13. No modular re-sits — full re-take the following year if needed.

Grade boundaries

Grade A* typically requires around 80% overall (varies per series). OCR publishes grade boundaries with the August results.

Content we cover one-to-one

  • Pure — proof, algebra, functions, coordinate geometry, sequences, trigonometry, exponentials & logarithms
  • Pure — differentiation, integration, numerical methods, vectors
  • Mechanics — kinematics in 1D and 2D, forces, Newton's laws, moments
  • Statistics — probability, statistical distributions, hypothesis testing, sampling, data presentation
  • Large Data Set — OCR-specified dataset for the statistics paper

Where A Level Physics leads

  • UK Russell Group degrees in STEM, Economics, Computer Science, Engineering
  • Strong fit for students applying to Oxbridge, Imperial, UCL, LSE
  • Apprenticeship and degree-apprenticeship pathways requiring A Level Maths
  • International universities accepting UK A Levels

FAQs — OCR A Level Physics tutoring in Manchester

Which Manchester schools teach OCR A Level Physics H556?

OCR A Level Physics is taught at a smaller subset of schools in Manchester than AQA. Schools include selected independents and grammars that have retained OCR for sciences. The wider Greater Manchester region is more AQA-dominated for A Level Physics.

How does OCR Physics H556 differ from AQA Physics 7408?

OCR papers more often present problems in real-world contexts and reward students who connect ideas across the syllabus. AQA papers are more topic-discrete with predictable past-paper patterns. AQA has the Paper 3 optional topic (Astrophysics, Engineering, etc.); OCR has the synoptic Unified Physics paper.

Is OCR Physics accepted by University of Manchester Engineering?

Yes — University of Manchester Engineering programmes accept OCR A Level Physics alongside AQA / Edexcel. Standard requirements: A* / A in Physics + Maths.
