Why can you smell pepper, but you can’t smell salt? Why are some elements metals and others non-metals? Can we do anything about global warming? How and why will we be affected when we run out of oil? Why does your bedroom get messy by itself, but not tidy? Since 2015, we have followed the OCR Chemistry A linear specification, which is divided into 6 modules, each covering a key concept in Chemistry. The modules are: Module Both years 1: Development of practical skills in chemistry Year 1 2: Foundations in chemistry 3: Periodic table and energy 4: Core organic chemistry Year 2 5: Physical chemistry and transition elements 6: Organic chemistry and analysis Students take progression exams at the end of Year 1, and subject to a suitable pass grade, can move into Year 2. The staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, applying a variety of strategies to help all students. We encourage imaginative, critical and logical thinking for problem-solving and for interpreting and answering text-based questions. Collaborative practical work enables students to learn about Chemistry in a task-based, student-focused and interesting way, supported by lessons where the results of practical work are drawn together and students can learn from each other, as well as from the teacher. The incorporation of practical methods into the learning process enables students to tackle practical assessments more confidently. In addition to these courses, any student applying for Medicine, Veterinary Medicine or Dentistry has the opportunity to join ‘Medsoc’, which helps to prepare students for all aspects of their application.
To be eligible to apply for an A Level at DLD College London, students must have a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 or above with a grade 5 preferred for Maths and English. Specific GCSEs may be necessary depending on your course choice. Maths and Sciences A Levels require a Grade 7 or above in that subject’s GCSE. To study A Levels, your current or pending exam results should be equivalent to or higher than GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) in at least 5 subjects and a minimum level of English equivalent to IELTS 5.5. At the start of each academic year of study students following A Level course without a pass at Level 5/Grade C in GCSE or IGCSE English Language or with an Academic English score below 6.5 overall must join an Academic English training course for the academic year which will be timetabled alongside A-Level lessons. If your level of English is not sufficient to meet the entry criteria for the A Level programme you will normally be offered a place on the one-year Academic Preparation Course (pre-A Level) to bring your English skills up to the required level.
