It's Different for Girls
This report from the Institute of Physics explores data from the National Pupil Database, looking at progression to A level physics from Key Stage Four in different types of school. In particular, it focuses on the inequalities of numbers between the girls and boys taking the subject at this level. Although girls do as well as boys at GCSE standard, the percentage of them who carry on studying physics to A level is far lower.
The data highlights great differences between different kinds of schools. A set of six questions sets out clearly the challenges, each one giving a summary, data and commentary on the findings.
