EXPLAINING CPAC:
In order to achieve a pass, students will need to have met the following expectations.
Students will be expected to develop these competencies through the acquisition of the technical skills specified in Appendix 5 of the DfE subject content for each science subject Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Students can demonstrate these competencies in any practical activity undertaken throughout the course of study. The 12 practical activities prescribed in the subject specification, which cover the requirements of Appendix 5c, will provide opportunities for demonstrating competence in all the skills identified together with the use of apparatus and practical techniques for each subject.
Students may work in groups but must be able to demonstrate and record independent evidence of their competency. This must include evidence of independent application of investigative approaches and methods to practical work.
Teachers who award a pass to their students need to be confident that the student consistently and routinely exhibits the competencies listed below before completion of the A level course.
