Course Summary
We follow the AQA Specification for A Level Chemistry. It is a 2 year course and students sit their
external assessments in Year 13. Students will have 10 Chemistry lessons every 2 weeks which will
comprise of theory and practical based learning. There are 12 required practicals that students will
complete during the course. You will develop and enhance your knowledge in 3 main areas: physical,
organic and inorganic chemistry.
You will learn in detail about topics such as: atomic structure, bonding and chemical equilibria as well
as electrode potentials and electrochemical cells in physical chemistry. You will study the periodic
table in detail through topics like periodicity, transition metals and the reactions of group 1 and 7
helping to develop your passion for inorganic chemistry. In organic chemistry you will cover a broad
range of topics learning about a variety of functional groups and their reactions. In addition you will
learn about different spectroscopy and chromatography techniques.
