Chemistry

Assessment

We follow the AQA specification for A-level Chemistry which is a linear course. The girls will be taught topics covering Organic, Physical and Inorganic Chemistry building upon their GCSE knowledge. Practicals will be completed throughout the course, to support learning and twelve of these will count towards a separate practical certificate qualification. The girls will be provided with a lab folder to keep a record of these practical tasks. They will also be given question sheets, support material and extension material where required. Regular examination-style testing will take place at the end of each topic. The Chemistry department is very experienced and keen to work alongside pupils, to enable them to reach their highest academic potential.
