1.2Objectives:These objectives relate directly to the six aims of the Chemistry Department and are intended to show how the aims are actually put into practice.
2.a) i. The National Curriculum Key Stage 3 and 4 Chemistry Orders should be used as a basic core for the scheme of work. Staff could provide a glossary of words with each topic in order to aid correct spelling, understanding of the meanings of and the use of words. ii. Staff should encourage students to recall and apply their knowledge and skills in familiar and unfamiliar situations. Students should be able to express information in the form of graphs. Students should also be able to obtain information from graphs, tables and diagrams and spot patterns/relationships in the information and draw conclusions. 2.b) Staff should refer to work in Humanities, Maths, Music, Languages, etc. when appropriate. Students should be able to select and use appropriate results for calculations using standard procedures. 2.c) i. Safety is introduced formally as part of the 'Introduction' topic in Year 7. However, safety is emphasised whenever appropriate. Staff must be familiar with the risks associated with a particular piece of practical work. ii. Students should be able to follow both verbal and written instructions accurately. iii. Students should experience both prescriptive and open-ended practical investigations. Students should not be expected to perform open-ended practical investigations unless they have previously gained related knowledge and/or skills from previous work. Students should be encouraged to: make accurate observations and measurements record systematically estimate when appropriate make effective use of laboratory apparatus understand the need for and use experimental controls design experiments to answer questions or investigate hypotheses. 3.a) i. Lessons should be conducted in a secure, supportive and disciplined manner. The students and the staff should interact in a manner that demonstrates mutual respect. ii. Students should have regular homework that has a direct relationship with the course work and a clear purpose. 3.b)
i. Tests will be given for independent assessment. ii. Students should experience a variety of experiences/activities during a course of study and during a lesson if possible. There should be opportunities for individual and/or group activities. iii. Staff should encourage students to pursue a piece of work over a period time, e.g. project work and practical investigations, where research is carried out - possibly using a library. iv. Staff should use a reward system, e.g. record of achievement in school diary. This should encourage students to work to their full potential and to experience a sense of achievement. 4.a) Students are to be encouraged to share their experiences and culture with others in order to enhance the quality of learning. 4.b) Staff should attempt not to spend inequitable amounts of time with any one student, group of students or gender group etc. However, staff often spend considerable amounts of their own time helping individual students. 5.a) Staff should attempt to show the benefits that Chemistry and technology have given to us as well as the problems. This will be done by well-chosen resources and carefully phrased comment. 5.b) The staff will allow opportunities at various times for group discussion. At these times we can listen to each other's views and hopefully reflect upon them. 1.3Courses1. Key Stage 3. Adapted from the National Curriculum program of study.

1.5Admission to IB Higher Chemistry courses - Years 12 and 13Students are admitted to a course dependent on the departmental head’s perception as to whether or not that student is capable of achieving a pass grade at IB. Other criteria also apply:- a) the student to have achieved a grade B pass, or better, at iGSCE in the subject. A double certificate pass in Chemistry of grade BB, or better, is sufficient to be considered for IB, a grade C pass, or better, is required in Mathematics at iGCSE All students must do a group 4 science, so if their progression to IB is agreed by management any student may do Chemistry Standard Level regardless of iGCSE qualifications. 2Staff2.1Staff listP Brannac (Head of department) BSc.
