Chemistry

Entry Requirements

• Entry to the Sixth Form is open to those who have the desire to further their education and who have good GCSE (or equivalent) passes. • We routinely ask for at least a grade 5 at GCSE in the subject, but this is not absolute and there are exceptions. • The previous study of a subject is not always essential to be admitted onto the year 12 course. Chemistry is an academically challenging course and it is recommended that in addition to the requirement of GCSE Grade 6 in Chemistry or Combined Science, pupils need to be competent in GCSE mathematics (grade 6—higher tier), as at least 20% of exam marks include a mathematical element. Hence, if you enjoy an academic challenge and are fascinated by the world around you, then chemistry is for you.
