UPPER SIXTH COURSE OVERVIEW: ⚫ Module 5 - Physical Chemistry and the Transition Elements • Reaction rates and equilibrium (quantitative) • pH and buffers • Enthalpy, entropy and free energy • Redox and electrode potentials • Transition elements ⚫ Module 6 - Organic Chemistry and Analysis • Aromatic compounds • Carbonyl compounds • Carboxylic acids and esters • Nitrogen compounds • Polymers • Organic synthesis • Chromatography and spectroscopy (NMR)
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
