Chemistry Department
Welcome to Chemistry
Why study chemistry?Because it’s fun, exciting and it explains how the world works. From archaeology to other planets’ atmospheres, from the effect of drugs to the colour of precious stones, Chemistry enables us to make life better and more interesting: to grow food, prevent and cure disease, to develop new materials and explore space – Chemistry is all around us.
The department aims to engender the love of the subject by providing a rich curriculum in well-resourced laboratories. We aspire to develop independent thinking skills, problem solving and creativity within our pupils in a friendly and supportive environment.
The department is also strongly supportive of learning beyond the curriculum, with lecture trips to London and the ‘in-house’ Dyson Perrins Chemistry Society, where the younger pupils enjoy weekly forays into the wider world of the subject.
