This course is designed to provide students with a balanced coherent study of Chemistry in which chemical principles are developed. Students will be able to devise and plan experimental and investigative work, and interpret, explain, evaluate and communicate the results of these. Students will also gain an awareness of the ethical, environmental, technological and economic aspects of the subject. Building on Year 12 work, students learn about: Physical Chemistry, for example, thermodynamics and rate equations; Inorganic Chemistry, such as Period 3 and reactions of ions; and finally, Organic Chemistry, covering isomerism, biochemistry and aromatic chemistry.
Waddesdon Points System to enter the Sixth Form explained in the prospectus. Minimum of 65 in GCSE Science, 6 on the GCSE Chemistry paper and 5 in GCSE Maths.
Paper 1 - Inorganic chemistry and relevant physical chemistry: 2 hour exam, 35% of A level marks. Paper 2 - Organic chemistry with relevant physical chemistry: 2 hour exam 35% of A level marks Paper 3 - Practical skills and synoptic content: 2 hour exam, 30% of A level marks Students taking the full A level will also be awarded a pass/fail practical skills certificate based on practicals studied throughout the two years.
