Many of the areas covered will be recognisable from your GCSE studies. There will be greater emphasis on understanding the principles behind the chemistry and more refined and detailed modelling of particle behaviour. We will widen the content in terms of more complex molecules. The A Level course addresses social, economic and ethical issues in providing for an increasing population in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. The course will prepare students to progress into further education, to follow courses in Chemistry and related disciplines or enter in to other careers with a better understanding of how chemistry influences the world they live in.
At Sixth Form, entry to Abbotsholme is normally dependent on GCSE results (or equivalent passes) of at least five C grades/level 4 or above.
A-Level Chemistry is assessed by exam only. You will take three papers at the end of Year 13. There is also a practical endorsement based on carrying out a variety of practical activities throughout years 12 and 13.
