Module 1: Development of practical skills in Chemistry. Students develop their practical skills throughout the whole course. Students’ practical skills will be assessed through the Practical Endorsement in which 12 key experiments are carried out over the course. Module 2: Foundations in Chemistry. An important bridge into A-Level Chemistry from the study of Chemistry within Science courses at the GCSE level which provides learners with a knowledge and understanding of the important chemical ideas that underpin the study of A-Level Chemistry. Module 3: Periodic table and energy. The focus is on inorganic and physical Chemistry, the applications of energy use to everyday life and industrial processes, and current environmental concerns associated with sustainability. Module 4: Core organic Chemistry. Introduces organic Chemistry and its important applications to everyday life, including current environmental concerns associated with sustainability and climate change. Module 5: Physical Chemistry and Transition Elements. This module extends the study of energy, reaction rates and equilibria, and the periodic table. Module 6: Organic Chemistry and Analysis. This module introduces several new functional groups and emphasizes the importance of organic synthesis. This module also adds NMR spectroscopy to the instrumentation techniques used in organic and forensic analysis.
34 points minimum. To study any science at A-Level a student must achieve a minimum of a Grade 5 on all Science GCSEs on the higher tier (Grade 6 preferred). A Grade 5 in Mathematics is required for A-level Chemistry. Grade 5 achievement will require an interview with the Head of Science to ensure suitability.
Students will sit three examinations at the end of the second year of study. The first examination covers units 1, 2, 3, and 5. The second examination covers units 1, 2, 4, and 6 whilst the final examination covers all units.
