Our Curriculum Aims

Chemistry is THE central scientific discipline.  At AGSB, our aim is that students enjoy their study of Chemistry as only by this measure can we hope to: -

Inspire students with a sense of curiosity and wonder about the fundamental nature of the world around them by presenting ideas and concepts in an interesting and entertaining manner.

We have developed our curriculum around five key themes -      

• Working Scientifically, 
• Atomic Structure
• Elements, compounds and mixtures
• Atmosphere/Sustainability
• Numeracy

We then develop a teaching order that allows knowledge to build as we move through KS3 to GCSE to A level.

This allows us to develop a series of pillars on which to hang more detailed knowledge.

Empower students to make decisions about their own lives and critically evaluate scientific and technological developments that impact society by providing the skills needed to function in a fast-changing world.
