OCR’s Chemistry ‘A’ specification is a modern and relevant Chemistry course, clearly structured and flexible so that pupils of all abilities can engage with the subject. Emphasis throughout the course is on developing knowledge, competence and confidence in the areas of Inorganic (the chemistry of the elements other than carbon), Organic (the chemistry of carbon based compounds) and Physical (theoretical) Chemistry, in practical skills and in problem solving. The content is divided into chemical topics, each containing key concepts. Once these key features have been developed, applications are considered. The teaching and learning of practical skills are integrated with the theoretical topics. Practical and laboratory skills, which are so important in this subject, are developed in a way suited to each individual pupil, combining academic challenge with practical focus.
In late January the Director of Admissions allocates House places. At this time as much account as possible is taken of any preference a pupil has stated. In June, three months prior to entry, pupils visit the College to meet with Heads of Department, Housemasters, key members of staff and the Guidance Department to discuss A-level choices and tertiary education options. In August GCSE results are sent to Marlborough. All candidates (Scholars included) must achieve at least a six-grade BS or six 6’s in their GCSEs including English and Mathematics (in practice, most successful candidates will get more GCSEs at considerably higher grades than these). In September pupils arrive to begin their education at Marlborough.
