Chemistry

Course summary

In A Level Chemistry, you may well find yourself burning magnesium in steam, constructing electrochemical cells and making your very own aspirin. Working out how and why substances behave and interact in the ways that they do can be quite demanding, but at the same time it is interesting and stimulating. You will have the chance to discuss and ask more questions about ideas covered only superficially at GCSE and you will be expected to think and contribute during lessons. We have a team of highly qualified and very experienced A Level teachers and our outstanding laboratories that are equipped to support our students to develop their practical skills to a high level. We provide support for both students that are struggling with the subject, and also provide opportunities for those applying for elite courses to achieve the very best grades and add to their UCAS application through competitions and co-curricular activities.
