Chemistry

Chemistry is taught as a separate subject throughout the Senior School to GCSE and AS/A2 level. The teaching is shared by two teachers in the department. The subject is popular in the Sixth Form with most students taking the subject through to A2. Many of our students continue with their study of science or medicine at university.

The Department also runs a Science Society which is open to all year groups, and BAYS club which is open to Sixth Form and Year 11 and involves regular attendance at lectures given by outside speakers at Sherborne Schools, Leweston and Yeovil College. There are also trips to the Annual Chemistry Lectures at the Royal Institution and at the Institute of Education. The lower years have competed in external events such as Salters' Festival and a link has been established with Bristol University to take part in their activities for Year 9 -13. The department also organise for students to attend the Medlink course at Nottingham University.
