Chemistry is involved in every aspect of our lives from the biological processes inside us to the atmosphere around us. A Level of Chemistry builds on ideas studied at GCSE: covering a wide range of concepts from the structure of the atom to the energy changes in reactions. It provides the opportunity to learn about concepts that help to explain the fascinating properties of medicines, foods, fabrics and all the matter that makes up our world. The course is designed so that essential ideas and skills are gained through practical work and problems are solved by developing powers of critical and imaginative thought. Throughout the course much attention is paid to developing an appreciation of the social, environmental and technological importance of Chemistry. It will appeal to all those who are self-motivated with an analytical mind and an interest in the future and development of the world. Modules include Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry.
To enter the Sixth Form, you need to achieve at least six grades 4 to 9 at GCSE or equivalent with at least a grade 6 in any subject to be taken at A level. Please note that we ask for additional entry requirements for some subjects*. Pupils will need at least a grade 6 in GCSE Chemistry or in Combined (Trilogy) Science and a grade 6 in Mathematics. Good written communication skills are also important.
• Paper 1 - Physical and Inorganic Chemistry 35% (2 hrs) • Paper 2 - Physical and Organic Chemistry 35% (2 hrs) • Paper 3 - All topics 30% (2 hrs) • Practical Endorsement
