The A Level Chemistry course is designed to introduce pupils to how Chemistry fits into every aspect of their lives and help them to make sense of the world around them. The course involves substantial practical work to consolidate the theoretical content needed and enable pupils to appreciate the wider application of Chemistry. Year 1 Atomic Structure, Amount of Substance, Bonding, Energetics, Kinetics, Equilibria, Redox Reactions, Periodicity, Group 2 and Group 7 Elements, Nomenclature and Isomerism in Organic Chemistry, Alkanes, Halogenoalkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols and Organic Analysis. Year 2 Acids and Bases, Compounds Containing the Carbonyl Group, Aromatics, Amines, Amino Acids, Polymers, Organic Synthesis, Structure Determination, Thermodynamics, Transition Metals and Reactions of Inorganic Compounds in Aqueous Solution.
King's welcomes applications for admission to the 6th Form. We have a significant post-GCSE entry into our 6th Form and places are offered based on an interview and references from the candidate's current school. Candidates are expected to gain at least a 4/5 or 6 in each subject they hope to study at A Level and overall a minimum of 5 GCSEs with at least 4 GCSEs at Grade 4. Candidates applying to study BTECS will be offered places after interviews with the Deputy Head Academic and the Headmaster.
Teacher assessed Practical Endorsement throughout the course. The practical skills form a component of the three externally assessed written examinations, sat at the end of the second year of study which assess both years' work.
