GCSE & International GCSE Physics · Early Access

Physics comes alive
with Maxwell.

Maxwell Physics connects tutoring, voice, interactive simulations, structured practice, teacher resources, assignments, rich student responses, marking, parent progress reporting and topic progress, while keeping teachers in control.

Designed for students. Built with teachers in mind. Created for meaningful learning.

Student question

Why does increasing the collision time reduce the force?

Maxwell · guided explanation

Let’s compare the same change in momentum over two different impact times. The impulse stays the same, so a longer impact spreads the force out.

What is Maxwell?

More than a tutor. One connected Physics environment.

Maxwell is an Early Access GCSE and International GCSE Physics learning and assessment platform for students, parents, teachers and schools.

Students can ask questions, learn step by step, practise exam skills, upload homework, use interactive Physics simulations, complete assignments, receive classroom messages and review released work.

Teachers can create classrooms, generate or import Physics resources, assign work, review student responses, use Maxwell-assisted marking and retain control over moderation, feedback and reporting.

Maxwell connects learning, exploration, practice, schoolwork, assessment, feedback and progress while keeping teachers in control.

The connected learning journey

A complete journey from understanding to improvement.

Six connected stages inside one Physics environment. Not six separate tools.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Receive personalised explanations and guided questions based on the learner's current understanding.

  2. 02

    Explore

    Change variables and observe Physics through interactive simulations.

  3. 03

    Practise

    Use Step-by-step Lessons, Exam Practice, Quick Quizzes and Formula Practice.

  4. 04

    Apply

    Complete real-world Physics tasks, unfamiliar problems and teacher-assigned activities.

  5. 05

    Assess

    Submit calculations, written answers and diagram-based or graphical responses.

  6. 06

    Improve

    Receive released feedback, review progress and identify useful next steps.

Resource to feedback

From resources to released feedback.

Maxwell connects resource creation, student work, marking and teacher-controlled feedback in one workflow.

Trust

Built for education from the beginning.

Curriculum alignment

Learning activities are structured around defined curriculum content, topic boundaries and intended outcomes.

Age-appropriate learning

Maxwell is designed to guide learners through suitable and purposeful educational experiences.

Teacher oversight

Teachers retain control over resources, marks and feedback before release.

Meaningful progress

Progress information helps learners and educators recognise development and identify useful next steps.

Responsible AI

AI supports explanation, practice and feedback while professional judgement remains with the teacher.

Data protection and safeguarding

Maxwell is being developed with teacher oversight, age-appropriate learning, data protection and responsible use as core design principles.

Maxwell Physics is an educational technology product developed by Sunbury Education Limited.
