Chemistry occupies a central position among science subjects. On the one hand it is linked with physics through physical chemistry and on the other with biology through organic chemistry. Thus chemistry is fundamental to physiology, medicine and dentistry and it underlies many branches of technology such as atomic energy, metallurgy, fuel technology, engineering (particularly chemical engineering) and biological sciences. Other subject combinations have proved useful, eg chemistry, biology and geography for environment and agricultural courses; chemistry is the first priority for these courses.
Pupils must normally achieve five GCSEs in grades 9 to 4, including English and Maths. Candidates are expected to have a grade of 6 or above in the subjects they wish to take in the Sixth Form. Consideration will be given in exceptional circumstances to change this by the Headmaster.
This qualification is linear. Linear means that students will sit all the A Level examinations at the end of their A Level course. Three papers each of 2 hour duration. All A Level topics and practical skills are examined.
