studied across both years of the Sixth Form, with extensive practical work linked to all three areas being undertaken. Year 1 Most of the topics studied in the Lower Sixth year are developments of topics already encountered at GCSE, including atomic structure, bonding, calculations and Organic Chemistry. Year 2 In the Upper Sixth year, the student’s knowledge and understanding of Chemistry is developed further and the mathematical aspects of the subject have greater emphasis. Further Organic Chemistry, entropy and transition metals are some of the topics studied in the Upper Sixth year.
• GCSE Maths: You must achieve a grade 7 or higher • GCSE English or English Language: You must achieve a grade 7 or higher • A Level subjects: You must achieve a grade 7, 8, or 9 in your chosen A Level subjects. For some subjects, a minimum of grade 8 or 9 is required (see below) Girls are required to have a grade 8 – 9 in Chemistry and grade 7-9 in Mathematics at GCSE in order to take Chemistry at A Level. Previously girls who achieved high grades at A level started with a grade 9 at GCSE.
The A level qualification is linear with students sitting examinations at the end of the Upper Sixth. The A level examination consist of 3 papers each of 2 hours duration. All written papers test students’ theoretical and practical skills. Further details can be found on the AQA website www.aqa.org.uk
