GCSE in Chemistry
Whether discussing science-based issues affecting modern society or evaluating scientific data and explanations, our GCSE Chemistry course brings the subject to life.
Linking practical laboratory experience with theories and ideas, students learn how chemistry is applied to industry, business and medicine. They also learn how chemistry is used to create new technologies and how these have, in turn, contributed towards a greater quality of life for us all.
Revised GCSE
In consultation with the regulator, QCA, we have decided to defer the revision of our GCSE specifications for:
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Science Double Award
We have deferred revision of these science specifications as it has become clear that further development work is required with a particular focus on controlled assessment, which will involve wider consultation with the science community.
We will continue working with the regulator and other partners with the aim of revising our GCSE science specifications in line with the other awarding bodies in England and Wales.
Therefore, as our GCSE Science qualifications will remain unchanged for the foreseeable future, you should continue to base your courses on our existing specifications. They will continue to be fully supported by our locally-based team available to provide you with expert advice and guidance.
