Chemistry is fundamental and fascinating. It plays a role in everyone’s lives and touches almost every aspect of our existence in some way. Chemistry is essential for meeting our basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, health, energy, and clean air, water, and soil. Knowing something about chemistry provides an excellent basis for understanding the physical universe in which we live. Everything around us consists of chemicals!
You will require at least a Grade 5-5 in GCSE Science (Higher Tier) or a single Chemistry GCSE of Grade 5 or higher (Higher Tier), and a Grade 5 or higher in Mathematics (Higher Tier)and English Language. Studying Biology, Physics or Mathematics at A level will complement and support Chemistry A level but is not essential.
There will be internal examinations at the end of Year 12 and external examinations at the end of Year 13. Questions are a combination of multiple choice, structured questions and extended response covering theory and practical skills.
