Chemistry is the branch of science concerned with materials of every description. It is often called the central science because it overlaps with both Biology and Physics. This course is designed to equip pupils with the skills and understanding to make decisions about the way chemistry affects everyday life by applying concepts to contemporary areas of chemistry including climate change and green chemistry, pharmaceuticals and chemistry research. In addition, it allows pupils to develop a range of generic skills needed by both employers and universities. For instance, a successful GCE-level chemist will be an effective problem solver and be able to communicate efficiently both orally and in writing. During experimental work, pupils need to work effectively as part of a group, which develops team participation and leadership skills. Pupils will also build up a range of practical skills that require creativity and accuracy while developing a firm understanding of health and safety issues.
To begin our Sixth Form programme you need to have achieved at least 59 points from your nine best (I)GCSEs. The following tariff explains the points system: 9 - 8 points 8 - 8 points 7 - 7 points 6 - 6 points 5 - 5 points 4 -4 points 3 -3 points Grade 8 in (I)Chemistry, 8/8 in (I)GCSE Double Award Science and Grade 8 in (I)GCSE Mathematics
GCE Chemistry is a two-year course with topics covered and cross-connections made throughout the Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth years. There is no coursework; instead, pupils will be required to complete several core practical tasks throughout the course, covering specific skills and techniques. Papers 1 and 2 are written papers, each 105 minutes long. Paper 3 is 120 minutes long and will assess practical knowledge and skills in the three key areas of physical, inorganic and organic chemistry.
