Topics covered: 1. Atomic Structure and The Periodic Table 2. Bonding and Structure 3. Redox I 4. Inorganic Chemistry and The Periodic Table 5. Formulae, Equations and Amounts of Substance 6. Organic Chemistry I 7. Modern Analytical Chemistry I 8. Energetics I 9. Kinetics I 10. Equilibrium I 11. Equilibrium II 12. Acid-Base Equilibria 13. Energetics II 14. Redox II 15. Transition Metals 16. Kinetics II 17. Organic II 18. Organic III 19. Modern Analytical Techniques II This course takes some of the ideas from GCSE and explores them at a much deeper and advanced level. Pupils find it rewarding and inspiring to take their understanding of the nature of matter much further. There are three strands to the subject at A level and beyond. Physical Chemistry is quantitative and includes topics such as rate, equilibrium, and pH. Inorganic Chemistry focuses on specific areas of the Periodic Table and the detail and patterns in behaviour of some of the elements, such as the transition metals. Organic Chemistry greatly expands in its scope from the hydrocarbons studied at GCSE to look at many other families of carbon compounds and their significance in the modern world, such as carbonyls, alcohols and amino acids. The Department places great emphasis on the value of correction periods and the availability of help for the sixth form from any of the Chemistry staff in the Sanger Building assignment room during assignment periods.
Candidates sit GL Assessments CAT4. In addition, pupils are expected to achieve 40 or more GCSE points. International pupils should have IELTS at 6.0 or equivalent. Most heads of department recommend at least a grade 7 at GCSE for subjects relevant to sixth form study.
