LOWER SIXTH COURSE OVERVIEW: ⚫ Module 1 - Development of Practical Skills in Chemistry ⚫Module 2 - Foundations in Chemistry • Atoms, compounds, molecules and equations • Amount of substance • Acid-base and redox reactions • Electrons, bonding and structure ⚫ Module 3 - Periodic Table and Energy • The periodic table and periodicity Group 2 and the halogens • Qualitative analysis • Enthalpy changes • Reaction rates and equilibrium (qualitative) ⚫ Module 4-Core Organic Chemistry • Basic concepts • Hydrocarbons • Alcohols and haloalkanes • Organic synthesis • Analytical techniques (IR and MS)
Successful candidates will be offered a place conditional on specified grades at I/GCSE, typically a minimum of six I/GCSEs in grades 8-9. Sporting, creative and other talents are also important as they form an integral part of the Sixth Form programme. • Excellent grades in Science and Maths GCSEs • Excellent problem-solving skills • Highly accomplished practical skills • An ability to manage time and undertake independent self-study • Self-motivated and enthusiastic about Chemistry
A LEVEL ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE: 3 exams sat at the end of the two-year course; the practical endorsement is reported separately 37% PAPER 1: PERIODIC TABLE, ELEMENTS AND PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY 37% PAPER 2: SYNTHESIS AND ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES 26% PAPER 3: UNIFIED CHEMISTRY
