| − | Chemistry is the study of reactions between molecules. The subject is usually taught by three different teachers at A level, each one specialising in one particular module. Teaching the subject are [[Mr Bretherton]], [[Miss Hartley]], [[Mrs Weir]] and the infamous [[Miss Bowden]].

| − | The three modules studied are examined in different papers which are only taken in the summer. Also included is a [[Practical Exam]] which is counted as part of the module three paper. The three modules studied at AS are:
| |
| | | | |
| − | Module 1 - Boring Chemistry
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Module 2 - Pretty Colours Chemistry
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Module 3 - Bowden Chemistry

| − | Be warned, if you believe that you can take up Chemistry at AS as easily as at GCSE then you may well be in for a shock. Module 1, taught by [[Mr Bretherton]], is a maths heavy module that requires a great amount of number crunching and memorising of formulas. In the 2005-2007 intake of chemistry the number of students resiting this exam was well over 70% of those taking the subject.

| − | The modules at A2 are practically identical to AS and are taught in the same way by the same teachers. The only difference is the inclusion of the dreaded [[Synoptic Paper]] as module 6.

| − | It is well known in the chemistry department that there is a heavy deterioration in the marks from AS to A2; people getting an A or B at AS may well find themselves being hit with a D at A2. The lone exception to this rule is [[Josh Cadney]] who scored straight As at AS and then went one step further by getting perfect UMS scores for all written papers at A2.
