Our courses match both present A level specifications and the new A level specifications from September 2008. The copper mine context is used to bring to life a variety of chemical and geological topics in the A level specifications in an exciting and memorable experience for Y12 and Y13 students. Practical work out-of-doors is a feature of all courses, with indoor option should the weather be too inclement. For 2008-2009, we are concentrating our efforts on A levels in these two subjects. We hope to develop courses suited to GCSE specifications, and these will be publicised when available. Courses are available in selected weeks only, on both weekdays and weekends, (SEE DATES BELOW) in order to match tutor availability to requirements of schools, both in terms of A level course timing and of planning out-of-school experiences. The cost per student is kept to the minimum needed to cover the expenses of running the courses. The cost is £10 per student, subject to a minimum charge of £100 per group. Two staff are required to accompany a group for which there is no charge. For every additional 10 students over 17 students another staff member may visit at no charge. i.e. There will be no charge for 4 staff members accompanying 37 students. (Don’t panic, the booking form calculates the charges.) Please go to the: On-line booking page to book your visit. |
