Chemistry

Assessment

Teaching at A Level consists of a lot of discussion of new concepts and their application to the familiar pattern of knowledge, with ongoing questions in both directions and, of course, practical work. There is little note-taking or dictation. There is no practical examination or coursework since practical skills are internally assessed by teachers during the course. There are opportunities to attend lectures, such as those held at the Royal Society of Chemistry, King’s College London and the Royal Institution and to visit the Chemistry department at University College London.
