WHAT WE DO
In Chemistry the activities designed for pupils have been developed to enable them to communicate their Chemistry by understanding, discussing, debating, presenting and explaining results, interpreting results, drawing conclusions and evaluating evidence. These tasks have also been designed to develop the pupils’ personal qualities: motivation, a preparedness to tackle the unfamiliar and unknown, flexibility and creativity in overcoming difficulties and developing new approaches, perseverance, reliability and accuracy, willingness to check, monitor and control their own work, independence of thought and action. With the introduction of ‘the new A Level there is much emphasis on the essential skills – communication, independent learning, team work, numeracy and problem solving.
