At Bodmin College, we currently deliver the OCR Chemistry A curriculum. This is assessed through two exams at the end of Year 12, which form the AS qualification, or three in Year 13, forming the A Level qualification. The assumption is that pupils will enrol on AS Chemistry and decide during the year whether they want to continue to A Level. There is an emphasis on learning through doing, so practical investigations feature in the lessons.
It is strongly recommended that you study separate science at GCSE if you are thinking of studying A Level Chemistry. A grade 6 in Chemistry (grade 6, 6 in Combined Science) is the minimum entry requirement. A grade 5 in Maths is also desirable. It is also important that you have a genuine interest in chemistry and the sciences, with a strong study ethic.
