Chemistry

Course summary

We follow OCR Specification A which can be found and downloaded from the OCR Chemistry website. It is divided into six teaching modules and each module is further divided into key topics which are taught and regularly tested. Teaching of practical skills is integrated with the theoretical topics and they are assessed through the written papers at the end of the course. There is also a non-examination based practical endorsement section which replaces the traditional coursework element and this must be passed to achieve the full A level qualification. Students wishing to take Chemistry at A level require a solid mark in Separate Chemistry or Higher Tier Combined Science and have a good working and contextual knowledge of mathematics.
