The course specification is designed to enable candidates ● To generate understanding of the broad scope of Chemistry in the development of universal principles and life concepts; ● To develop essential knowledge and understanding of the concepts of Chemistry, and the skills needed for the use of these in new and changing situations; ● To develop an understanding of the link between theory and experiment; ● To sustain and develop their enjoyment of and interest in Chemistry; ● To recognise the value of Chemistry to society and how it may be used responsibly; ● To learn the pan-global nature of this science, in terms of both underlying fundamentals and the international nature of its study, through research and group interaction. ● To prepare the necessary skills to promote further study in Chemistry and related areas. ● To develop a broad based knowledge of the principles and applications of Chemistry to a high level consonant with university entrance or equivalent standard. ● To embrace the moral framework of science, understanding that scientific development can be limited by social, political and personal agendas.
Pupils normally need a minimum of 6 GCSE passes with at least a grade B in the subjects they choose to study at A Level or for the IB Diploma. GCSE Chemistry or Science at minimum grade 6 (or overseas equivalent). Students without this may be able to take Chemistry after a discussion with the IB coordinator.
All students will be regularly assessed throughout the course using a range of methods including summative assessment and formative assessments. The framework for internal assessment is based on the investigation and project work, which will have components of both a prescriptive and student generated nature.
