A-level Chemistry attempts to answer the big question ‘What is the world made of’ and it’s the search for this answer that makes this subject so fascinating. We are constantly surrounded by chemistry and chemical reactions, without which we would cease to exist; from the air that we breathe and the food that we eat to the clothes we wear and the fuels we use. It is a fascinating and enthralling subject that unravels the mysteries of why reactions occur and how we can use and manipulate these reactions to benefit mankind. A-level Chemistry is divided into distinct areas of study in the form of organic chemistry; the study of products from crude oil, and inorganic chemistry which looks at the patterns and trends of reactions and physical chemistry which is more mathematically based. Two members of staff are allocated to each group and 10 one hour-long lessons are provided every fortnight. In addition, comprehensive support is offered in lunchtime sessions for pupils that need extra help.
Entry to the Sixth Form for all pupils is dependent upon achieving good GCSE results - normally 7 GCSEs at grade 6 or above (including Maths and English), with at least a 7 in your chosen subjects. We also ask prospective pupils joining us from other schools to provide a report from your current school confirming that you are a suitable candidate to sit A-levels and we invite you to come in for a short interview. Below is an overview of the admissions process into Sixth Form at Queen's. You could continue to study chemistry at degree level—either broadly or specialising in one area. Students studying A-level chemistry frequently go on to study degrees in chemistry, biology, pre-clinical medicine, dentistry, pharmacology and veterinary science. As a challenging A-level, you will need a grade of 7 or above in GCSE chemistry (or 7-7 for double award science) to be accepted on the course. As there is a significant mathematics content in the specification a grade 7 at GCSE mathematics is required.
