Chemistry is a core subject at GCSE, either as a standalone qualification or as part of the combined science specification. Chemistry is a challenging academic subject, with an emphasis on problem-solving, mathematical skills and the ability to carry out practical work accurately and safely. Topics covered include atomic structure and bonding, rates of reaction and organic chemistry.
Entry to the Sixth Form is subject to a minimum requirement of 5 GCSEs at Grade 6 unless there is a compelling reason to modify this requirement, and in any event, where this is necessary it will usually lead to the applicant being offered a BTEC or BTEC with one A Level as a Sixth Form course. Candidates must achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject to be studied at A level, and a Grade 7 in the case of Mathematics, any Science or a Modern Foreign Language.
