The A Level course is taught over two years covering 5 modules. We begin looking at the Foundations of Chemistry then move on to the Periodic Table, Energy and Organic Chemistry. In the second year we cover the last two modules studying further complex organic reactions and Physical Chemistry. Module 1 underpins the whole of the specification covering the practical skills students develop throughout the course. The practical skills are assessed on the examination papers. Students will gain a practical certificate that is awarded for the completion of specific chemical reactions.
A minimum of three grade 6s and five grade 5s at GCSE including a grade 6 in Maths GCSE and grade 7 in Chemistry GCSE or Combined Science.
Papers 1 and 2 are made up of multiple choice and more structured questions. • Paper 1 assesses the content from Modules 1,3 and 5. • Paper 2 assesses the content from Modules 1, 2, 4 and 6. • Paper3 assesses the content from Modules 1 to 6 and examines extended response questions covering theory and practical skills.
