Chemistry
Further information
Pupils wishing to study Chemistry should have at
least grade A in Additional Science or grade A in
Chemistry and grade B in Mathematics at GCSE.
Whilst it is possible to be successful at AS level with
lower GCSE grades, such pupils need to be aware
that Chemistry is a demanding subject at AS level,
and must discuss their options with the Head of
Department prior to registration. Chemistry is a
popular subject and works well with a number of
combinations, from the obvious Sciences and
Mathematics, to Languages and Music.
As well as becoming scientists, engineers and
doctors, pupils with Chemistry often move into areas
of business management, law and finance, where a
logical, enquiring mind are highly desirable assets.

methodology and enquiry, which is highly regarded
in Higher Education and in the wider world of
employment.
