During the course students will study inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. Inorganic chemistry is the study of the periodic table and organic chemistry is the in-depth study of carbon compounds and mechanisms. Whereas physical chemistry is the study of how matter behaves on a molecular and atomic level and how chemical reactions occur. Students are assessed on twelve key practicals and must be able to demonstrate not only scientific but practical, mathematical and literacy skills through their studies. Students who are able learn new principles quickly and enjoy solving complex problems. As well as carrying out investigations in the lab.
To be accepted into the Sixth Form, you will need a minimum of five grade 4’s, or higher in GCSE subjects. GCSE Combined Science Trilogy with one component at Grade 7 or higher, or, GCSE Chemistry at Grade 6 or higher.
Lessons will consist of theory and practical-based sessions generally within a science laboratory and you will be taught by experienced teachers. In support of the teaching and learning in class you will be expected to complete study pack tasks which includes exam style questions. Each topic will be assessed by learning checks during the course of the topic and an end of unit test. Feedback will be given for key pieces of work. The final examination consists of 3 separate papers assessing knowledge from the whole course and the 12 required practicals
