At AS and A2 level we follow the Edexcel exam specification which has a good mix of traditional chemistry with contemporary and stimulating examples.

Parts of the AS course build on topics that students may have studied at GCSE while other aspects are new to most students. There are two written papers (each with a 40% weighting) that are taken in the summer of the Lower Sixth and a third Coursework Unit (20%) is taken throughout the course in the form of Assessed Practical tests.
