Chemistry is the study of all chemical substances and how to change one chemical into another. The food you eat, the air you breathe, your own body and the plants and streets around you are all made of chemicals. As consumers demand less expensive products, Chemistry helps to decrease economic costs; and as communities demand a safer environment, Chemistry helps to decrease pollution. Gone are the days that poisonous red lead oxide is used to colour cheese, or to sweeten cider; and now we do not put toxic arsenic in cosmetics; nor do we use lead in white paint, or make CFCs that destroy the ozone layer. These chemicals were used mostly out of ignorance, so with the development of new understanding in Chemistry, a safer world is built.
Entry to THS Sixth Form is subject to five or more GCSEs being achieved at grade 5 or above, including grade 6s in those subjects chosen for A-level. For alternative qualifications, decisions regarding offers of places will be taken on an individual basis.
Practical skills will be developed throughout the course. A number of experiments will be formally assessed and used to give a practical skills grade which will be recorded separately to the grade given from written examinations.
