Course summary

A-Level Chemistry is taught via the OCR Chemistry A specification, designed to “sustain and develop an enjoyment and interest in Chemistry, to recognise the value of Chemistry to society and how it may be used responsibly, as well as developing your knowledge and understanding of the concepts and skills essential to the subject”. Many of the topics will be familiar to you as they are extensions of those covered in GCSE Chemistry. We will develop the depth of your understanding of these and reinforce the theory with new practical skills. The content is split into six modules: 1. Development of practical skills in Chemistry 2. Foundations in Chemistry 3. Periodic table and energy 4. Core organic Chemistry 5. Physical Chemistry and transition elements 6. Organic Chemistry and analysis

Entry requirements

In practice, we look at each pupil as an individual to see how they conform to our principles and we usually expect that they will have achieved at least 5 GCSEs/IGCSEs at grade 5 or above with ideally grade 6 or above in the subjects they wish to study at A-Level. However, some of the subjects you are interested in may not have been taught at GCSE, so it is impossible to specify exact entry requirements for all of our A-Level subjects. We will consider equivalent qualifications gained from other educational systems. Our philosophy for learning is designed to challenge all students in learning and thinking and to encourage and develop a resilient mindset.
