A large proportion of pupils decide to continue with their study of Chemistry at A Level, achieving the most impressive results. Many of our A Level chemists then go on to study related courses at university, including biochemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, medicine, biomedical sciences, dentistry and veterinary science. At FHS, we follow the AQA A Level Chemistry specification which offers lots of opportunities for practical work. There are plenty of opportunities for students to get involved outside the classroom too, with competitions such as the Cambridge Chemistry Challenge and with opportunities to deliver research-based presentations to their cohorts.
We welcome external candidates to the Sixth Form, who are assessed on the basis of reports from their existing schools, written tests, interviews and GCSE predictions. We strongly recommend that all girls have achieved at least grade 7s (A grades) in their chosen A level subjects, as those with lower grades are likely to find the Sixth Form course challenging. Both internal and external candidates may compete for Academic Sixth Form Scholarships. These examinations take place in November each year. Scholarships are also awarded for Art, Drama and Music.
