The step up from GCSE to A level Chemistry is a large jump and we would like everyone to get off to a running start by doing a bit of preparation and revisiting of some key skills (chemistry and maths) from GCSE.

Please make sure that you have completed the 'back to basics' booklet and hand it in to your chemistry teacher in your first lesson in September.

If you want to do a bit more revision before you start there is a study guide which helps to bridge the gap between GCSE and A level:
