What the college says

A Level Chemistry is a rigorous, challenging and ultimately rewarding course that develops students' scientific skills and knowledge. The course has been split into three sections; physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry. Each section begins with an overview, which puts the topic into a broader chemical context and encourages understanding of the place of each topic within the subject. The course aims to:  develop your interest in and enthusiasm for the subject, including developing an interest in further study and careers associated with the subject;  develop competence and confidence in a variety of practical, mathematical and problem solving skills;  understand how society makes decisions about scientific issues and how the sciences contribute to the success of the economy and society;  carry out experimental and investigative activities, including appropriate risk management, in a range of contexts;  analyse and interpret data to provide evidence, recognising correlations and causal relationships;  evaluate methodology, evidence and data, and resolve conflicting evidence. Students are encouraged to develop individual and personal study skills. Progress is monitored throughout the year and continuous feedback is supplied by teachers so that students have a good understanding of areas they need to develop in order to reach their goals.
