SELF-STUDY

Here is some advice on examination technique (basic technique and advanced technique).  Follow it, and you can get 15% more marks than you deserve!

For Sixth Form notes, I am impressed by the Nelson ITP sets of notes (PHT)

For GCSE, the BBC Bitesize site is pretty good; it has decent revision, with some helpful simulations, and it has some self-testing. Try also (in Britain) Eduweb, Topmarks (Not much use, because it is just a long, disorganized list of links, not all of which are any use anyway) and Dialogueworks, 4learning (some USA CAL stuff, animations, mostly for A-level, for you to download - PC only, I think)..

KidsClick has a physics bit, but it is no more than an alphabetical list of sites, not all very useful.

The Glenbrook Physics Classroom is a properly organised, extensive set of teaching notes, with some animations, from the USA at around A-level standard.

Self-teaching and reference (A-level) using detailed University notes from the University of Winnipeg. I liked the bits I looked at (e.g. on refraction, and on diffraction...) but it is rather advanced, of course... (Oliver Sander)

Here is some stuff on, for example, refraction, which is more or less at school level...  I liked this site (PHT)

This is some very wise advice on studying Physics, though it is aimed at USA college students.  It describes a perfect student, but it is a target.  The diagram of a perfect pattern of weekly study is very good (PHT), and so is the section on how to solve numerical problems.
