At Bosworth Chemistry is a well-established subject, intended for students who have studied Chemistry in their GCSE Course. Through a combination of practical and theoretical investigation, the course provides a platform in the basic principles that underpin Chemistry and applies them to the world and its resources. It develops practical and analytical skills and provides opportunities for research into and evaluation of existing theories and techniques. In short, Chemistry at A-level is stimulating, challenging, satisfying and fun.
Entry requirements: 5 GCSEs with a minimum grade 6 including Maths and English and for the subjects taken through to A-level, however we require a grade 7+ if studying Maths or Further Maths. A good grounding in Chemistry and Maths is essential - at least a grade 6 or above at GCSE level - along with a lively curiosity and an active imagination. We strongly recommend grade 7 or above in order to achieve the highest results. The course is intellectually stimulating and yet demanding. Students are expected to have a high level of motivation and self-discipline, plus the ability to work independently. Homework is set regularly in the form of experimental reports, research, essays, self-study units and exam questions.
You will complete a minimum of 12 required practical activities spread over the 2 years. During these tasks, teachers will assess your practical skills against criteria set by the exam board. If you display competence of all these skills, you will be awarded a ‘PASS’ grade for the practical endorsement which will be recorded on your exam certificate. Practical work is also assessed in each of the external examination papers.
