Chemists make lives better. From medicines and drugs, to new materials for new technologies, chemists design the substances and work out how to make them. Chemists will have a huge contribution to make in answering the big issues over the next few decades such as climate change, feeding the world and caring for the aging population.<\/p>\n

“Chlorine is a deadly poisonous gas employed on the battlefields of World War 1. Sodium is a corrosive metal that burns on contact with water. Together they make a placid and non-poisonous material, table salt. Why each of these substances has the properties it does is a subject called Chemistry.”<\/h5>\n

Entry requirements<\/h3>\n

Alongside the general entry requirements to Sixth Form, students must have a grade 7 in all three Triple Sciences or 7,7 or better in Combined Science, and have 4 x GCSE (or equivalent) at 9-4. We recommend you study Maths at A level.<\/span><\/p>\n

Course description<\/h3>\n

The Chemistry course is divided into the three traditional disciplines of Organic, Inorganic and Physical.<\/p>\n

Students will study the AS material and sit an internal exam in Year 12, then go on to A Level in Year 13.<\/p>\n

The course is assessed each term and has a strong practical content. A level Chemistry can lead\u00a0to further study of Science at degree level, is a requirement for a career in Medicine and is highly regarded in many areas such as Engineering, Education, Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine and Law.<\/p>\n

Ways to help my child succeed<\/h3>\n

Encourage them to discuss current topics with you. Watch science documentaries. There are many opportunities for enrichment outside the classroom including lectures, seminars and workshops.<\/p>\n
