Chemistry is a challenging and exciting subject which develops an understanding of chemical reactions from the structure of the atom right through to large scale reactions happening both in factories and our atmosphere! It will suit those who have enjoyed the study of sciences at GCSE and who enjoy solving problems and asking questions about the world around them. We are following the OCR syllabus; this course offers the opportunity to explore in greater depth many of the ideas met at GCSE and provides further insight into the structure of atoms, chemical bonds and chemical reactions. Studying Chemistry develops practical skills and the ability to evaluate data, including experimental data and other sources of information. It is a direct requirement for those thinking of degrees and careers in Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Veterinary Sciences and any Bioscience and is also valuable for those considering a career in any other science.
- You must enjoy solving challenging problems. Chemistry requires application of knowledge, it is essential that you are willing to think and reason for yourself. You will be expected to undertake wide and varied background reading. You must have a minimum of grade 6 in Chemistry GCSE or 66 grades in Core Science and Additional Science GCSEs. You must also have a minimum of grade 6 in GCSE Maths.The majority of students studying Chemistry at A level have 8 or 9 GCSE grades in Sciences and Maths. - At least eight GCSEs (including English (Language or Literature) and Mathematics at a minimum of Grade 6)
Students will complete three exams at the end of year 13 which will include multiple choice as well as extended response questions, covering both theory and practical skills. Students will also undertake a Practical Endorsement and will be required to complete a minimum of 12 practical activities to demonstrate practical competence. This will be reported separately to the A Level grade.
