Our A-level course is designed to train the pioneering chemists of the future. The study of Chemistry at A-level develops many important skills including logical thinking, analysis of evidence, making connections, data processing and manipulative skills in practical work. Such skills are advantageous in a wide range of careers and advanced academic pursuits. The course we teach is the OCR Specification A, with examinations taken at the end of Year 2. Although the work requires a mathematical and logical approach, the study of Mathematics at A level is not essential. We recognise that pupils will have studied a variety of different GCSE courses and so much of the first term is devoted to ensuring that the foundations of the subject are solid and secure.
Admission to the school is a conditional place based on achieving a minimum of 6x6 grade passes at GCSE; this is a minimum entry requirement and higher grades might be necessary in intended A Level subjects, namely the Sciences and Maths.
