No AS examination Why I should study Enables learners to develop: • Intellectual, imaginative, creative and intuitive capabilities. • Investigative, analytical, experimental, practical, technical and expressive skills, aesthetic understanding and critical judgement. • Independence of mind in developing, refining and communicating their own ideas, their own intentions and their own personal outcomes What type of person The course is based around hard work, enthusiasm and the drive of personal investigation and independent study. Students work in a productive but relaxed atmosphere, working alongside the teacher who supports and advises the student on lines of enquiry for their particular theme and assists with technical demonstrations of media as required What I will study Component 01: Personal investigation Learners should produce two elements: 1.A portfolio of practical work showing their personal response to either a starting point, brief, scenario or stimulus, devised and provided by the learner or centre 2.A related study: an extended response of a guided minimum of 1000 words. Component 02: Externally set task • The early release paper will be issued on 1 February and will provide learners with a number of themes, each with a range of written and visual starting points, briefs and stimuli. A response should be based on one of these options.

Students are rewarded with certificates and medals. This is open to all Sixth Form students. • Biology & Geography Trip – 2018 Costa Rica Mathematics: Overall, at least 10% of the marks in assessments for biology will require the use of mathematical skills. These skills will beapplied in the context of biology and will be at least the standard of higher tier GCSE mathematics. English: There is a need for moderate competency in English language. Exams frequently contain questions embedded in contextual prose, which require careful reading. Candidates must also be able to write their answers clearly. What I will study AS Biology 1.

It is an essential requirement for students wishing to study: Medicine; Veterinary Science; Dentistry; Pharmacy; Biology; Materials Science; Chemical Engineering; Analytical Science. Chemistry A-level can also support entry to other degree courses, such as Law and Accountancy, as it demonstrates the candidate’s ability to solve problems, think analytically and manage challenging concepts and data. What type of person Students studying A-Level Chemistry at Ruthin School have the opportunity to participate in a number of extra-curricular competitions and courses, examples of which include: • Spectroscopy in a Suitcase • Young Analyst Competition • Chemistry Olympiad • Cambridge Chemistry Challenge Mathematics: The A-level chemistry course does not contain difficult mathematics, but does require competence in the basic skills of: Algebra; Statistics; Logarithms; Plotting and Interpretation of graphs; Conversion of units. It is notessential to study A Level Mathematics in order to be able to study Chemistry and many of the mathematical skills can be developed through the course. English: There is also a need for moderate competency in English language. Exams frequently contain questions embedded in contextual prose, which require careful reading. Candidates must also be able to write their answers clearly; this is particularly important when describing the observations in chemical reactions. What I will study AS Chemistry 1. Physical chemistry. 2. Inorganic chemistry. 3. Organic chemistry.A-Level Chemistry 1. Physical chemistry. 2. Inorganic chemistry. 3. Organic chemistry. Practical work is at the heart of chemistry and students will do practical work on a weekly basis. A rich diet of practical work is essential to develop students' manipulative skills and understanding of the processes of scientific investigation. Students taking this course will quickly develop their skills for using a range of apparatus and equipment.

Today’s evolving world requires more people to have the ability to create programmes. Perhaps you aspire to a career in biotechnology, meteorology or even oceanography; these, and many more, require problem solving and data analysis skills. You may need to develop computer models to help you in banking, actuarial or other careers in financial analysis. Or perhaps you are intrigued by a career intelligence analysis. Programming skills are more important than ever in our increasingly technology-dependent world. What type of person Computer Science is fundamentally about problem solving. Students will be taught the structure of programming in order to work through a range of tasks, each of increasing complexity. Logical thought and creativity are encouraged. If you enjoy puzzles and are constantly pushing your limits; if you love experimenting with technology but you are simplynot satisfied with being a passive user. If you are fascinated with how technology works and gain satisfaction from creating something new, then Computer Science is for you. Programming languages are very precise, so attention to detail is essential to make them work. An ability to solve problems and a competence in maths will be required as the AS course makes frequent use of and/or reference to mathematical formulae and principles. What I will study This course focuses on developing the students’understanding of the core concepts in computers and computer programming. This ranges from learning fundamental programming tools, through data structures and data representation to solving practical programming tasks. It uses a high- level programming language from the outset (Python) and students are therefore strongly encouraged to complete the Python training found on www.codecademy.combefore enrolling on the course. Familiarity with other high-level programming languages such as C# and Javawill also be an advantage. There is no assessed coursework but students’ ability to programmewill be assessed through an on-screen exam, paper 1. In addition, students will learn about computer hardware and the symbiotic relationship between hardware and software. They will also explore communication, networking and the consequences of the uses of computing. This will involve investigating the relevant moral and social Next >
