This subject will equip you with a wide range of transferable skills which are valued by many employers within and beyond the scientific field. • Ability to communicate clearly and concisely. • High level of numeracy and literacy. • Ability to plan and modify procedures. • Ability to work to high levels of accuracy and precision. • Ability to analyse and evaluate. • Ability to think logically, make connections and reason. • Ability to problem solve. • Ability to work independently and as part of a team. Chemistry is challenging and has a high intellectual demand but is also immensely rewarding as it gives you a greater understanding of the world around you. Virtually every product that we use relies on some sort of chemical process and Chemistry is key to developing new, sustainable materials. Content is split into six teaching modules: • Module 1: Development of practical skills in chemistry • Module 2: Foundations in Chemistry • Module 3: Periodic table and energy • Module 4: Core organic chemistry • Module 5: Physical chemistry and transition elements • Module 6: Organic chemistry and analysis
Automatic entry to Old Palace Sixth Form is dependent upon GCSE results. To be admitted to Year 12 a student must have: ▪ An average of 6 or higher in their best 8 GCSEs taken in Year 11 ▪ A grade 6 or above in English and Mathematics ▪ A viable programme of Sixth Form study OP entry point score of 7.0 or more, A or 7 in Chemistry or AA (7,7) in double award Science, B or 6 in Mathematics
There are three written papers at the end of year 13. Paper 1: Periodic table, elements and physical chemistry is a 2 hour 15 minutes paper worth 37% of your ‘A’ level Paper 2: Synthesis and analytical techniques is a 2 hour 15 minutes paper worth 37% of your ‘A’ level Paper 3: Unified chemistry is a 1 hour 30 minutes paper worth 26% of your ‘A’ level These papers will include an assessment of some practical skills. In addition to the written examinations, you will complete a Practical endorsement in biology over the two years. This assessment of your practical skills does not count towards your ‘A’ level grade but is reported at the same time.
