Chemistry bridges the gap between physical and biological science and views matter from an atomic and molecular perspective. The course combines experimental science and academic study with practical and investigational skills. All DP students will undertake the Group 4 project, a collaborative project across the sciences, working together to design, implement, assess and report on an area of scientific investigation. This project is held in the Autumn Term of the Lower Sixth. • A core programme including: quantitative chemistry, atomic structures, periodicity, bonding, energetics, kinetics, equilibriums, acids & bases, oxidations & reduction, organic chemistry, NMR.
The minimum entry requirement for our Sixth Form is five Grades 9 – 6 at GCSE with a minimum of a 6 in the subjects the candidate wishes to study at A Level or IB. All candidates are expected to have achieved a minimum of Grade 4 in Maths and English. For some specific subjects, a minimum of 7 is required at GCSE. Entry to the Sixth Form depends upon a satisfactory report from their present Headteacher, the minimum GCSE requirements and suitable CAT scores. All Sixth Form candidates will also be required to undertake a short writing task.
• External multiple choice, data-based and questions on experimental work (36%). • Short and extended response questions (44%). • Individual investigation, reflection and report (20%).
