First Year - Development of Practical Skills in Chemistry, Foundations in Chemistry, Periodic Table and Energy, Core organic chemistry, Second Year - Physical chemistry and transition elements, Organic chemistry and analysis, Practical endorsement. Chemistry develops analytical and problem-solving skills, encouraging students to answer questions in a concise and logical fashion. Practical skills are learned whilst carrying out experiments, and evaluative skills are developed by considering the quality of results and how to improve experimental methods.
Each year, we are delighted to welcome new students into our Sixth Form. All prospective Sixth Form students from other schools can enjoy a taster day at Stafford Grammar School and have an interview with the Head of Sixth Form. Offers of entry into the Sixth Form are then conditional upon GCSE results. A place in the Sixth Form is conditional upon students gaining at least 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or equivalent, including at least a grade 4 in Mathematics and English Language. Often there will be a requirement of the minimum of a grade 6 or equivalent for those subjects that the student wishes to study at AS level. For AS Mathematics, students must have followed the Higher Tier course and gained at least a grade 7 or equivalent. Any offer is also conditional upon a successful application including an interview and a satisfactory reference from the student’s current school. Almost everyone in the Lower Sixth Form studies four AS levels and the majority go on to study three A-level courses. Some students do continue with four A-levels, but this is dependent on academic and career aims.
