The Science courses offered at Thomas Telford School are designed to provide academic and vocational experiences. They will prepare students for their choice of career in both the world of work and higher education. Students will study six modules cross the two years of A Level study. Chemistry lessons are taught using a wide range of techniques with a mix of teacher-led tasks, group activities and independent study. Students will carry out experimental work on a regular basis to deepen their understanding of the theoretical concepts and to develop their practical skills. In addition to teaching the content outlined in the course specification, A Level Chemistry students complete a practical skills endorsement, where their practical skills are assessed internally through 12 core practical tasks across two years. Students must demonstrate competency across a range of skills and techniques to pass the element of the course. The opportunities for students of Chemistry, on completion of full-time education, are enormous. There are many possible careers within the scientific world and qualifications in Science subjects are acceptable as an entry into many other careers. Science students at Thomas Telford School are currently preparing to move into higher education Courses and careers in the following fields: - Engineering - Forensic Science - Pharmacy - Medicine - Dentistry - Nursing - Biological Sciences - Chemical Engineering - Veterinary Medicine
6 GCSEs at (Grades 9–5), including Grade 5 in English, Grade 6 in Mathematics and Grade 6 in Chemistry or 6,6 in Combined Science.
Assessment will take place at the end of the second year and will consist of three written papers: Paper 1 – Periodic table, elements and physical chemistry 2 hours 15 minutes (37% of total A Level) Paper 2 – Synthesis and analytical techniques 2 hours 15 minutes (37% of total A Level) Paper 3 – Unified chemistry 1 hour 30 minutes (26% of total A Level) Practical endorsement in chemistry – (not examined) reported separately.
