OCR A Level Physics tutoring for UK students

OCR A Level Physics (H556) is a major UK A Level Physics board taught at many independent schools and selective state schools — particularly across London, the South East, Bristol, and parts of the Midlands. The OCR A specification has 3 papers (Modelling Physics, Exploring Physics, Unified Physics) with OCR's distinctive context-led question style. OCR also offers B Advancing Physics (H557) with stronger applied/contextual emphasis. Our online tutors in GMT/BST cover students across London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Bristol, and Leeds.

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
