The Chemistry A-Level is designed to be a two-year linear course and will be assessed in the summer of 2023. Chemistry is an investigative science that is concerned with the study and manipulation of atoms and molecules and the effect of these micro properties on the macro properties of substances. A chemist must therefore have an enquiring mind, looking for reasons why certain reactions occur and the effect of those changes. The subject is taught as a fully integrated course so that the material is presented in a logical sequence that enables students to fully understand new work by applying previously taught ideas to new situations. The principle behind this approach is that it is always easier to learn the work if you fully understand the theory which underpins the topic.
Joining the Sixth Form is by interview and on the basis of academic achievement at GCSE. Applicants are invited to interview following a report from their current school indicating their predicted GCSE grades. The likely offer made, following a successful interview, will be conditional on a minimum of 5 A / 7 grades, with A / 7 grades in the subjects to be taken in the Sixth Form.
There are 3 examination papers (components) at the end of the A Level course. There will also be stretch and challenge questions designed to allow the most able learners the opportunity to demonstrate the full extent of their knowledge and skills. These questions will support the awarding of a grade A* at A-Level.
